A 99% Tax Day Protest in Chatham Tomorrow

Tomorrow, April 17, there will be a 99% Tax Day Protest in Chatham.

Here is some info on the protest from the organizers:

” This Tax Day, we are demanding that the 1% pay their fair share of taxes. While most of us pay taxes for schools, roads, and other vital services—billionaires and 1% companies like Wells Fargo and GE pay nothing. That’s why we’re protesting, marching, and rallying in hundreds of cities to tell the 1% that it’s time to pay their fair share.”

When: Tuesday, Apr. 17, at 12:00 PM
Where: Bank of America Chatham NY (in Chatham)

At The Crandell: 21 Jump Street

It looks like The Hunger Games has left The Crandell. This was one of the few times that our local theater has shown a movie on its opening night and continued to run it for multiple weeks. The folks at The Crandell did that without raising ticket prices so I hope this was profitable and a positive experience for everyone. You can read my recap of The Hunger Games’ midnight showing premier at The Crandell by clicking here.

Tonight, a new movie arrives in Chatham, it’s 21 Jump Street, starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum.
