Pro-library rally in Covington tomorrow!

Occupy Cincinnati and Occupy Campbell County are supporting a rally in support of local libraries tomorrow! We must support the libraries against the Tea Party's frivolous lawsuits.

The event begins at noon! It'll be at 6th & Philadelphia in Covington! It'll be kind of like the impromptu event in Newport last Tuesday - but hopefully it'll be even better!

I've actually taken a little bit of heat by a very small number of people who still claim the library used an illegal tax structure. But I stand by the facts of the case: A 1979 state law supports the library's side of things. More importantly, the Tea Party didn't sue just because they didn't like higher taxes. If they were consistently anti-tax, there's plenty of other targets besides the library. Besides, the Tea Party has openly supported a national sales tax in excess of 20%. The Tea Party is suing the library because they don't like libraries. I have no doubt whatsoever about that.

The Tea Party picked the wrong fight by trying to bankrupt local libraries. I used to work at the libe, and I take libraries very seriously.
