Occupy Madison To Permanently Occupy For Homeless. Right Wingers Not Happy.

6. Thanks for all that information, I have to go back and read the article again, but I think Occupy

Madison DID visit DV in Oregon. I know they visited Oregon AND Washington State which also has similar projects for the Homeless.

You are right that Occupy Madison will need to address issues that will surely arise. They registered as a non-profit to avoid taxes and spend as much as possible on actual housing.

That is interesting about the Oregon law. I hope OM is aware of that and has enough legal advice to check out the laws to preempt any problems in the future.

It's obvious from the comment sections that what they are doing isn't going to be popular with everyone.

Another thing they might want to do though to alleviate some of the concerns of future 'neighbors' is to work WITH people in neighborhoods where they might wish to buy land.

Thank you so much for your comment. They do have a blog, sorry I don't have a link on hand. And I think they have a comment section. It might be worthwhile to send them information that could be helpful to them. I will check to see if I can find a link to their blog.
