Occupy Movement Hits San Angelo

San Angelo joins a world of unrest - but in a fairly small way. The "Occupy Wall Street" movement hit the Concho Valley yesterday. About two dozen marchers turned out for the Occupy San Angelo trek between the federal building and city hall. The grass roots movement has spread widely from the original protestors, who still occupy a private park on Wall Street in New York City, to cities and towns around the world. Locally, marchers said they're in tune with the concerns of the broader "Occupy" movement: taxes, unemployment and what they call the greed of big companies.
