County Commissioners and community members gathered in the crowded Missoula County Courthouse Annex room 201 today to discuss a resolution that would prohibit camping and structures on county property. Close to thirty community members got up to speak on behalf of the Occupy Movement and their rights to freedom of speech and their rights to peacefully assemble. Community member Curtis Loggow says the resolution is an attack on the Occupy Movements’ civil liberties.
