ROCHESTER RALLY FOR FAIR TAXATION



Rochester, N.Y.--  Community groups and labor organizations held a press conference at the Liberty Pole on October 18, 2011-- the site of Occupy Rochester-- to launch a campaign effort to stop the state's planned expiration of a tax surcharge for the mega-wealthy.

If the tax ends December 31, 2011, New York State stands to lose over 5 billion dollars that pay for vital public services and programs that benefit the working class.  All photos and video by Bess Watts.
