It was more about things at a local level. seriously most of what they were interested in was a clear message from OH. Someway to resolve the situation. Ideas and such.

When I looked at OccupyWallStreet a few weeks ago, the reported approved budget spending was quite amazing in quantity...$10,000 here, $20,000 there. Not sure they provided receipts or what sort of checks & balances have been used. Sounded like someone was preparing to create another deficit. The sum was over $300,000 at the time. Not sure where they are keeping the details at this time. However, according to Wiki, they have made over $500K since September 17, 2011, in OccupyWallStreet alone.

Obviously we need to be carefully managing these funds.

I was asking their opinion of the 99% and the occupy movement. Every single one asked the same 2 questions.

1. What is the resolution? As in this is what has to be done for the occupation to end. 

2. Where is the fiscal transparency? As in, money is being donated but where is it, and where is it going? Who is in charge of the fiscal portion of the movement?

So can anyone answer these questions?
