Last time I checked, Jesse Jackson did not reside in Benton Harbor or Michigan. He shows up for the cameras and then off he goes to the next cause. Go home, Jesse. Stay on track, Mr. Joe Harris.

So what else should the State have done? Stand by and allow the ineptitude and corruptness of the local officials drive the City of Benton Harbor into the ground? Then where would it's citizens be? The "officials" would take their fancy suits and their suitcases full of money and skip on out of here leaving the poor citizens scratching their heads and wondering what happened.

I find it amazing that so many are so uneducated or do not care about the problems in Benton Harbor. Jessie and company will do nothing but stir-up more hate. A lot of the problems are from the past when the factories closed and the union workers could not find jobs. But that was multiplied by the so called leadership of Benton Harbor doing things under the table not being honest and using millions in State and Federal tax money and nothing to show for it. The old city hall and Federal building wastes more gas as the heat is over 85 during the winter. The Community center wastes water every day as a water source heating and cooling system was installed but never worked by a local company. All that water is processed thru the sewer system and paid for by the City twice. Mismanagement over the years and grants and money given to the City show nothing today. This current Commission knew about the problem but did nothing. All but two on this commission do not care. They feel the money is free and they have no one to answer to for it. The time has come and the problems have been discovered and maybe now someone in the future will go to prison over the vast mismanagement and maybe even down right theft of the taxpayers money. That money being local, County, State and Federal. Jessie only uses this problem to grand stand for people who need to be in jail for mismanagement and hiding the real facts of the problem.

No mention from the reverend or other dems about Obama and the US government taking over GM, firing the then boss, and naming a new boss. Of course anyone with a brain knows that was nothing more than corporate welfare to a corrupt UAW. Crickets are chirping....the hypocrisy from the left would be laughable if it weren't so true.

It's about time something is done about the disaster in Benton Harbor. There has been nothing more then mismanagement for years. The city is hardly functioning. The mighty Jackson never pulled a trick out of his hat to help the community...but he's the first one in line to cause more disaster. Go home Jesse.

Czar like takeovers can not be tolerated. It is. Time to stand with the people of Benton Harbor.

This is absolutely out of hand now. Talk about exploitation for one's own gain. That would be Jesse and the kids. Didn't he speak of an Operation PUSH Chapter in Benton Harbor after the events of 2003? Of course then he and that idea left when the cameras shut off. Tell your story walking.

Stay Jesse. It is up to you, and sensible people in Michigan to fight this abuse of state power. Just say no to state appointed local dictators!

Didn't Jesse Jackson recently get exposed as being involved in a large sex scandal lawsuit where he basically harassed some poor guy by making him "clean up" the infidelity evidence? Why would he be starting another lawsuit?

Seems that the statement UNAMERICAN by Jackson should be directed at the Commission in Benton Harbor and himself. The reason being that there has been mismanagement of public funds. So He is supporting that kind of practices. That is UNAMERICAN, Let's see where the money he has and Rainbow push has and where it came from. Would be interesting.

All I want to say is, GO HOME JESSE, GO HOME!!!!!!
