Benton Harbor City Commissioner Trenton Bowens contacted me over the weekend to tell me that he was potentially facing a recall election.

The cash-strapped and democracy-starved city, which has long been under state-mandated emergency management, remains among the poorest in the state. Exploring revenue options is the responsibility of any good leader. The commissioner was simply doing his job. democracy-tree/tea-party-targets-benton-harbor-democrat-recall/
