Some
participants in the Occupy New Hampshire protests are heading to Washington D.C.
to take part in what's being called "Take Back the Capitol."
Krista Rand of
Suncook says she'll be there. The unemployed civil engineer wants Congress to
promote jobs in her field by putting more federal dollars toward roads and
bridges. "We all know that the state of our infrastructure in this country is
quite abysmal. The American Society of Civil Engineers rates our infrastructure
a D, and our bridges a C, so that's really a problem," she
said.
"Take Back the
Capitol" is set to run through Friday, with a "People's Camp" and gatherings at
congressional offices. nhpr.org
