- 04-MAY-06 - A flashcrowd is organized in protest of the Council's treatment of the Old Town -- or rather, lack of treatment at all.
- Raoul Valentin decried the protests, saying that citizens were demanding "rash action rather than careful consideration of the situation." & "What good would it do to spend a billion lecks today if we spend it doing exactly the wrong thing?
