Letter to Editor (be prepared to shed a tear and grieve a great loss)

Spirits above will punish the Klock Park destroyers Sat., 3/7/09 herald palladium

Editor,
The rape and destruction of our beloved Jean Klock Park - once the beautiful, natural environment enjoyed by so many over the years and home to thousands of wildlife - has begun in earnest. Park supporters, you will no longer recognize what you see as a result of this week's ongoing, heartbreaking demolition. To those who thought that the parking lot was a barren wasteland before, I would really like to know if you think that the view now is more beautiful? If so, I really feel sorry for you.
To all of you - from the retired judge, Cornerstone and Harbor Shores reps and the Benton Harbor city commissioners, U.S. representative, governor - who were a part of the public lies and deception enabling your greedy access to and disrespect for this once beautiful natural shoreline gem, the spirits from above will provide your due justice. I can only imagine the tears of John and Carrie Klock this week. You allowed your greed to overshadow your moral compass. All of you deserve the same rewards as those who were responsible for the Enron collapse, the Bernie Madoff ripoff, and the AIG debacle that we taxpayers will be paying for in the years to come. We likewise will always be paying for the loss that was JKP.
Also, how many of you are working for Harry Fox from Roseville, Mich.? Did we not have anyone locally who was willing to pull out all of the trees in the park? Were not the jobs for this development supposed to be going to local businesses?
The lies and deception are all a matter of public record from the statements that you made in meetings to the permits gained after the fact, inaccurate documents and maps changed after approval. Those lies and the deception to enable your greedy pursuit of the Jack Nicklaus signature golf course while forsaking the beautiful Klock heritage and disrespecting the natural shoreline environment has ensured the karma for your project and this area. Bette Pierman, Benton Harbor
