\n\n<\/a>\nFor the second week in a row, protesters picket outside the Chamber of Commerce to the tune of: ‘No Consolidation’.\n

\nBut unlike the \noccupy movement<\/a>, this rally has one message; one voice.\n

\nThey say: ‘Vote No’…..\n

\n“Just Vote No,” the Mayor chants from a podium.\n

\nMayor Sonny Vickers is one of the strongest opponents of the consolidation\nplan. “The group that’s pushing this has no authority. No kind of plan to\ntell us anything. Because they are not on the board. So they cannot tell\nus anything specific about what’s going to happen,” says Mayor Vickers.\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The news media might as well make Valdosta a regular weekend stop for demonstrations. -jsq Greg Gullberg wrote for WCTV 22 October 2011, ‘Vote No’ For Consolidation March, For the second week in a row, protesters picket outside the Chamber of Commerce to the tune of: ‘No Consolidation’.
