” Cooke said, “He was advised to us that the EFM (emergency financial manager) would not usurp the authority of elected and appointed officials and work in concert with them.” mr. Cooke that’s a mouth full.. “usurp the authority”. Give me a brake Cooke! Please mr. Harris don’t let the Crook.. excuse me, I mean the Cooke fool you.

When mr. Carter said, “I always had to be politically persuasive.” True, true.. because if you were not… Mayor Cooke would of just fired you.

Looks like mr. Harris is just what Benton Harbor needs. I hope he’s as tough as he sounds. We don’t need another yes man for the Mayor of Benton Harbor. It’s good the Mayor and commissioners are taking a 50% pay cut, that should of been done some time ago,.. now maybe some of them will go out and get real jobs.. and actually “work for a living”. “
