textThe Coonerty Watch Continues: Upchucky Updates by Robert Norse
Constitutional purists will gather again outside 1520 Pacific Sunday September 16 at 2 PM to debate Constitutional Lawyer, Vice-Mayor, Aspiring Mayor-to-Be, and Bookshop Impressario Ryan Coonerty. The topic: Is the City's Municipal Code 6.36.010a, (banning sleep outside or in vehicles after 11 PM at night) simply an unconstitutional nightmare from which we'll awaken soon? A clerical error? A misplaced police department wet dream? Join us to probe these mysteries. Warning: Vice-Mayor Coon...

Our bargaining team met with the university administration again September 5-7. The administration presented responses to several of our economic proposals.

textRotkin Responds to the ACLU Scandal: Signature Hypocrisy of Phoney "Progressive" Politics by Robert Norse
One of the longest threads on indybay recently has been "Activists ask ACLU to Help End Sleeping Ban". The discussion there exposes and documents an important and profound hypocrisy that has been central to Santa Cruz "progressive" politics for two decades. Organizations and individuals which newcomers might think would be most "liberal", "socialist" or "progressive" are actually the opposite on local issues. I encourage folks to go to http://indybay.org/newsitems/2007/08/26/18443532.php?...
