Saving Nichols School is not the cause. Stopping the transfer of wealth from us to the 1% is the issue in this town. Nichols School is a symptom of our leaders current and past actions that we are trying to highlight.
Over the last 10 years the city of Monona has given around $8.5 million to businesses in Monona.
This $8.5 million has come in form of grants, loans, property accusations and TIF districts. The city has used the $8.5 million to buy-out broken businesses and spur growth of businesses they deem as suitable. What about the rest of us who are working two jobs to maintain our homes? What about the family whose house down the street is in foreclosure?
Think about it: we have given $8.5 million to Monona businesses over 10 years. This equates to around $2,500 per household.
What did the 1% get out of that $8.5 million?
Is Nichols the next one on the list?
We are asking our leaders to spend money on and for the 1% when it comes to Nichols and not another developer.
What are your ideas for Nichols School that assists the 1%?
Occupy Nichols on November 18.
Occupy Nichols is a leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. Occupy Nichols on November 18!
