Again, why are decades of mismanagement by the elected officials in BH suddenly the problem of Michigan taxpayers overall?
The residents of BH voted for these grifters, lured by the party line and the promise of “free” stuff, so it is not unreasonable to think that they should be on the hook for the consequences of their actions.
