More coverage of Michigan’s Emergency Manager law & its implications on The Rachel Maddow Show

A recap of sorts by Rachel Maddow tonight of Michigan’s Emergency Manager law and its impacts, particularly on Benton Harbor. A bunch of my photos from one of the early rallies are featured.

I emailed Countdown with Keith Olbermann (MSNBC) yesterday after my blog entry which I cross-posted at Daily Kos spent the day at the top of the Recommended List.
