Protesters call Synder a dictator in Benton Harbor, during annual parade.
Governor Rick Snyder, who passed a law giving unprecedented and dictatorial powers to unelected Emergency Financial Managers, was invited to be the Grand Marshall of Benton Harbor and St. Joseph’s annual Bloomtime Parade. Benton Harbor is the first municipality where new EMF powers have
been used to strip power from all of its elected officials. Hundreds of Michiganders from across the state came to Benton Harbor to protest Snyder.
