Town Hall is responsible for municipal bank reconciliations. An employee of the city (like the town clerk) has the job of accounting for all monies taken in, making sure bank statements tally with the municipalitie's own records and so on. Banks are also subject to regulation on the State level.

I thought that was a federal level thing and it's not the feds rousting the protesters.

Do a Google News search on "OWS and FBI" to find articles about Homeland Security
participating in conference calls between city officials in several "occupied" cities.
Apparently DHS helped with coordination of both strategy and tactics.

As a result, a group of attorneys have filed Freedom of Information Act papers
to gain access to records of DHS participation in the OWS activites.

My next question would be what actual law enforcement division is out on the streets? The feds holding the line or advising on how to hold it? It'd be a bit different if the feds were actually doing the enforcing.

"Unparallelled police brutality" it is to laugh. I have a picture of Kent State protesters getting shot to death.

I was a freshman in college when Kent state happened. Those images remain in my brain to this very day. I remember how stunned all us college age kids were that our own countrymen would shoot us. After the shock and horror came the anger. Students closed down almost every university in the country in protest. At the University of Denver, we camped out (whoops!) in front of the admin building and prevented anyone, including the president, from going in to work. We boycotted classes.

The University of Denver (and many, many other institutions of higher learning) simply shut down for 6 weeks or so until summer quarter started. That was a dark time. Kent State radicalized me and many others, as well.

9/11 radicalized me.

Undertoad · 11-27-2011, 01:01 PM

Figuring out I was wrong de-radicalized me.

All the BS and misinformation has left me utterly confused.

The whole of the 'occupy' movement FAILS.

Are the uber-rich any less rich? No.

Aside from token support, have the 'governors' re-formed anything to dis-empower the uber-rich? No.

Of course it is going to fail by your standards if you put such rigid restrictions on what is considered a successful movement. I'm pretty sure this article was posted somewhere else on this site (Classicman?) but really grasp what it is saying.

And at what cost to the taxpayer?

henry quirk · 12-02-2011, 09:42 AM

Who cares?

If Joe and Josephine Taxpayer are foolish enough to throw money down the john, flush the john, and then pat themselves on the back for their 'good citizenry', then Joe and Josephine 'deserve' to foot the bill.

If Joe and Josephine were truly concerned about 'governance' (and the corruptions of governance): they'd have stepped up (and put their collected 'foot' down) a long time back.
