After a historic wait, part of Governor Schwarzenegger's brilliant budget move includes slashing "over $500 million in programs affecting seniors and people with disabilities." One of these programs, it seems, was a $347-a-year tax credit for low-income senior renters. But yesterday low-income tenants of-a-certain-age were hopping cross, crabnabbit! And many of them, along with the supervisor/star Tom Ammiano, took to the steps of City Hall to show Sacramento what's what. See, they want their kickback back!
Anyway, seeing as how we're not a part of the AARP sect yet, thus this issue doesn't affect our immediate future, we just don't care about it. Oh, we kid! But BeyondChron's Paul Hogarth waxes politically active on yesterday's renter rebate rally, which you can read here.
But what we do care about? Protest pics. And lots of 'em. You know, who's wearing what? Who was there? Were there any whimsical protest signs? Any choice taser action? And at what point did said protest lose its original intent? To find out more, check out these images.
