Senior Citizens Protest in Stillwater

The Stillwater Senior Activity Center is reducing its hours after budget cuts. Seniors are aggravated by the cuts and are determined to protest.
                The Senior Activity Center is cutting ten hours of every week in the new schedule. The seniors argue that they have paid their fair share of taxes over the years, and proclaim they should be able to keep the previous schedule. Shirley Burt is heading up the protest set for Monday morning at the steps of the Stillwater Municipal building. Burt is a widow and lives alone. She explains how important it is for her as well as people like her to be able to go somewhere and have fellowship with one’s peers.
