Commissioner Bowens was elected on November 5^th 2011 with over 65% of the Vote. He ran on a platform of creating a vibrant innovative Community for Benton Harbor. Since being elected Commissioner Bowens has been an advocate for the working man and woman of Benton Harbor and fighting for neighborhood improvements and blighted areas to be cleaned up in Benton Harbor.

Commissioner Bowens knows that in order to create a vibrant and efficient Benton Harbor, investment must be made in Benton Harbor. On August 5^th 2013 Commissioner Bowens voted yes to put a city income tax on the ballot to allow the voters to decide if they wanted it.  The local Tea Party and Republican Party funded a massive campaign against it, and the proposal ultimately lost.

Thinking that was over, we moved on to the difficult work of building a better Benton Harbor. Now those same special interest groups started a recall campaign against Commissioner Bowens for the following

BENTON HARBOR — Recall petition language has been filed against Benton Harbor City Commissioner Trenton Bowens by William Spinks of Benton Harbor.

In the petition, Spinks said Bowens should be recalled because he voted “yes” to allow the city income tax proposal to be placed on the Nov. 5 ballot.

The proposal was defeated.

A clarity hearing has been set for 9 a.m. Dec. 6 in the board room of the Berrien County Administration Center, 701 Main St., St. Joseph.

The Berrien County Elections Commission reviews the language for clarity.-Source The Herald Palladium.
