Seeing as how so many of the key players in this drama on the Republican side are affiliated with corporate interests in the immediate St. Joseph – Benton Harbor area (especially Whirlpool) is it possible the entire EMF law itself was created with this one specific land grab in mind? Or possibly this one and several others yet to come.

Sarah, just when I think the Tea Party has bottomed out I see this. Thank you for writing it. We need these reminders that people are suffering out there under this corporate oligarchy. This is why we fight. This is why we must win.

Democracy is clearly being targeted. Here in California we did not fall for the big money state candidates, but in my true blue hometown, the council is now corporate. Over in my mom’s homestate of Wisconsin, Walker is readying his own snyderesque takeovers of towns and school districts. We’d better get smart fast or we’ll have nothing left to defend.

Thanks for the historical reference.
