Maddow on Emergency Manager Takeover of Benton Harbor



Emergency Manager are a way to do what Republicans did with BRAC Selling off military bases making billions for political insiders, AKA Cronies for Bush. Then you have Benton Harbor and Now Detroit’s BS bankruptcy. But take a look what Walker is doing in Wisconsin, the same thing acting as a Emergency Manager selling off Power Plants, people are blind to what’s really on going with Republican ruled Governors.

Scott Walker Seeking to Sell Power Plants to Pay for Transportation Plan

Gov. Scott Walker is seeking to sell off hundreds of millions of dollars in power plants or other state assets to help pay some of the borrowing he is proposing as part of his two-year $6.4 billion transportation plan.

Walker turns down $37 million meant for Wisconsinites’ health care

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) turned down on Thursday a $37 million grant that would have helped to provide health care services for tens of thousands of Wisconsinites, saying he would rather deny his citizens treatment if it means he is resisting the “encroachment of ObamaCare.”

Republican Governors are Incognito Emergency Managers paying off big donors with privatizing, Selling off Government Property, causing more Austerity with higher unregulated price gauging to come in the future, like Gas Prices, Monopolies Rule!
