City of SR decides in Occupy's favor! 11/1/2011

[Margaret & Gary]

After three hours of passionate, articulate testimony at the City Council meeting on Tuesday, Occupy Santa Rosa won another reprieve from eviction when the City Council rejected a proposed 11/7 deadline for the removal of the City Hall encampment, agreeing instead to start negotiations on a permit to allow the camping to continue.

The council instructed City Manager Kathy Millison to begin meeting with protest organizers and other city leaders to discuss the conditions under which campers might be allowed to remain. Any would need council approval next Tuesday.

Tearing up, Council Member Susan Gorin said, “I am overcome by your passion, your commitment, your emotion and your very sad stories. We are witnessing history.”
