In the spring, the St. Paul Parks Dept conducted lotteries for the spaces they were willing to issue permits for.
"Swift Students for Truthiness," represented by Polk County WI Supervisor Ben Plunkett, won, securing a permit for Hamm's Plaza for Wednesday and Thursday. I was to co-ordinted a "STOP GOVERNMENT SPYING" event 4-8 Thursday, under his auspices.
These were revoked 2 weeks ago, for unspecified "security" reasons. When we sued, the Parks Dept. stipulated that we could still use the space, but now with a limit of 24 people at a time. Meanwhile we're also offered Ecolab Plaza, 2 blocks farther from the Convention, for overflow.
