Cross the State Line to fight Corporate Welfare!! (Today, 3/7/2006)

... as well as the subversion of the democratic process, the rape of our parks and neighborhoods in the name of politics as usual, suburban sprawl, and other good stuff.

How does all this come together? Councilman Chuck Eddy (think Boss Hogg) and his handler/assistant (think Dick Cheney crossed with Phil Gramm) are trying to steamroll an expressway, aka "Bridge-Zilla" through Minor Park on Red Bridge Road.

Neighborhood activists are fighting the project, and are ready to kick it into high gear with your help.

Just show up at the gymnasium at St. Catherine's church at 6:30 tomorrow night (Tuesday, March 7th). That's just west of Grandview Road on 105th terrace.

2. Yes, they can :-)

Fewer than 2,000 signatures gathered within a month of filing an affidavit would put Chuck Eddy on the ballot for recall.

Just an example.
