I won't be able to leave work, but I hope it is a success! Just wish they would've schedule this after the work day so more people could attend.

I'll be there but I hear you. I guess given the urgency, that was the best day and time possible.

Just to clarify, this a rally demanding the restructuring of the BOT?

I had the same thought. When I saw the thread title I got really excited.

Sadly until we add another amendment to the world's longest constitution we are stuck with what we've got. That said, until we start rallies like this and demanding political pressure then the ball will never get rolling.

I assume it is a rally to request that hoping that it turns into some kind of grass roots movement for an amendment to the state constitution since that's what it would take as well as a vote of the state to pass one.

Nature of press conference: Announcement on proposed BOT restructuring. Still important to have visible support. More details coming later.

Must be related to Rogers proposed bill(s). Glad a rally is being planned given the current state of affairs.

I'm assuming Mayor Bell/J Austin will be there too? If not, they need to.

I don't know if he will be there but, as I understand, it's not related to the legislation he proposed.

I doubt they can make it due to the council meeting.

I think Jack was planning on introducing legislation of his own. I'm assuming that's what he's announcing.

Good to hear. Once announced, we need to blitz the legislators to show support by co-sponsoring.

No nutts, no glory.
So what do you propose?
