| It's Day #13 at Occupy Trenton, and participants have been there 24 hours/day, sunshine and heavy rain. And Mayor Tony Mack has told them they're welcome where they are and that the state has treated them unfairly - and illegally.
The meeting, open to the public, is scheduled for 5:30pm at City Council Chambers, 319 State Street, on the 2nd floor. Right now, the Agenda doesn't show Occupy Trenton listed, but it may not have been updated on line. Occupy participants were told yesterday by the mayor that he himself would be speaking out.
On Friday, equipment, including cameras and computers, and other items used by the participants were seized by the state, and there were a few hours of chaos for occupiers. You can read more of our coverage here.
Occupy Trenton is still welcoming participants, and there have also been donations of food and drink.
Participants, I'm told anecdotally, are being told by Trenton police that the state is actively looking to find regulations, laws or ordinances allowing them to make it more difficult for the Occupy Trenton participants to be where they are, which is across the street from the State House, in New Jersey's capitol city. |
