-9-2010) Gary, Indiana, birthplace of Michael Jackson and all of his famous siblings, might miss its second deadline for turning property over to developers of a museum honoring the King of Pop his family this week.

Corporation Counsel, Susan Severtson, said Jackson Family Foundation President Simon Sahouri has been in town with his team this week and the transfer should happen "very shortly."

"The process is moving forward," Severtson said.

Gary's Board of Public Works and Safety gave its blessing three months ago to a deal in which the city promised to transfer five parcels of Glen Park property to the Jackson Family Foundation. The deal was signed by Sahouri and Jackson's parents, Katherine and Joe Jackson.

They promised to build a $300 million entertainment complex including a Michael Jackson Performing Arts Center on the site however, Michael Jackson's estate has not sanctioned those plans.

The original deadline for close of escrow on the transfer was 30 days after the deal was executed on June 2 but, the city approved a time extension in July allowing for another 60 days.

That new deadline passes this week, and county records show the land still has not changed hands. The parcels in question include Gilroy Stadium and parts of South Gleason Golf Course.

Gary has been waiting for the Jackson Family Foundation to finalize its not-for-profit status before transferring the land. Severtson said Gary might approve another time extension if the transfer doesn't happen ahead of the current deadline.

This is a costly mistake in the making.
 
Ain't that something! Here you have Gary willing to give up parcels of land to their so-called orgainzation, FOR FREE, and they can't even get the non-profit paperwork in order.

How in the heck do they expect to manage the building of a 300 MILLION DOLLAR project, when they can't even get the first step completed. Which in my opinion, is a no-brainer. Surely it can't be that difficult to complete the process of becoming a non-profit. SMDH!

And Joe Jackson has the nerve to think he has the know how to run Michael's million dollar estate. PLEASE!

Joe Jackson doesn't think he knows how to run Michael's million dollar state. In fact, he is not minimally worried about that. We know FULL WELL what he wants from "his son's" state. WE know FULL WELL running it is not his priority.

In other words, he would extort it. That is what he thinks he knows what to do. Running it is not even in his thoughts. He wants to leech off of it. It's different.

One thing is for sure: Joe will NEVER stop trying to put his dirty fingers on the money. NEVER. Until the day that man takes his last breath he will NOT stop trying to put his hands on the money.


P.S.- The last time a person dared to put he words "leech" and "Joe" in the same sentence, was banned. I don't expect my fate to be different, LOL. But, at least, the truth was told about that "father of his" as Liza Minneli put it.

well the 2 directors have filed for bankruptcy in the past, and have outstanding judgment against them...don't think the IRS will issue non-profit status and what not...without a thorough investigation.
 
I was just wondering has Joe been involved in any succesfull business since the Jackson 5
 
^^ What about Joe Cola :lol:

Its a shame because if this was done right it would be amazing but with Joe running it, it will surely fail :(

No! and that's why MJ would never want him to have anything to do with his Estate hence his exclusion from the Will! Can you imagine if Joe was in charge, MJ's Estate would be over before it even started!
