Another recall petition has been filed against Benton Harbor Mayor Marcus Muhammad, a day after the Berrien County Election Commission rejected previous petition language. The first attempt said Muhammad should be recalled for not telling the residents of Benton Harbor the water was contaminated with lead. The election commission determined that to be untrue. Petitioner Quacy Roberts said after Monday’s ruling he would submit new recall language, which he did the same day. The Berrien County Clerk’s office tells us the new petition says Muhammad should be recalled for “voting yes to increase the residents of Benton Harbor’s water rates.” The Berrien County Election Commission has a new clarity hearing set for November 17 at 9:30 a.m.
