I am on disability living in public housing in St. Joseph,MI. Our building used to include free cable with our rent but the reception sucked. I contacted the office to ask them to fix it and I was told I was the only tenant in the building with a cable TV problem. I decided to take a petition around the building and got a lot of signatures and a lot of tenants said they were also told they were the only ones having a problem. I turned in my petition to the office and I have been harassed and discriminated against ever since.

First I received an email from the manager saying not to talk about the cable to other residents. Then HUD found out that the city was illegally paying for the cable TV with tax payers money. HUD told the St. Joseph Housing Commission that they could not use HUD funds to pay for cable TV so the city shut the cable off.

The city leaders,elected officials and Housing Commissioners are telling the tenants here that they lost their free cable because of me instead of stepping up and taking the responsibility. If they wouldn't have set up the cable TV illegally the cable would not have been shut off. They are cowards that want to put the blame on a disabled guy. They have violated my right to petition the government without punishment.

They continue to harass and discriminate against me.

The St. Joseph,MI Mayor,Mary Goff and the city manager,Frank Walsh,are cowards that lie about what they illegally did and put the blame on a disabled guy.
