The article is misleading... The town council is not sponsoring it. The Marathon County Labor Council is the sponsor. The man quoted in this article is on the LABOR COUNCIL board — NOT the city council. As far as I know the Republicans here are not working with the city council, but rather trying to speak with the organizers themselves.
See my post above this for more of my opinion on this stuff taking place just blocks from my home... (SO FRUSTRATING!)
Let those fascist be known!
