[il-talk] public radio coverage of the Goodwill protest in Springfield, IL

[Bill Reif]

Hello,

Below is a link to a short piece about our Goodwill protest in 
Springfield. Note that despite my clear explanations that the purpose of 
our protest was to increase public pressure to enact legislation that 
would outlaw subminimum wages for the disabled, none of that made it 
into the article. The story can be found at

The other interesting aspect, which fortunately didn't make it into the 
article, is that Goodwill CEO Sharon Durbin felt our signs were 
misleading in that they failed to distinguish between the national CEO, 
as opposed to the local CEO.

Oh well, at least people who lost track of me since I left the Attorney 
General's office now know some of what I do with my time.

Cordially,
Bill
