East Linn's Indivisible's Karen Schueller provided this timely news on April 9: "In a local win for our side, yesterday in Lebanon Municipal Court, a man who thought "coal rolling" (diesel-smoke spewing) the participants of Lebanon's Friday Honk & Wave was a good idea was taught a lesson we hope will be passed on to others. After five people who experienced the coal-rolling incident were subpoenaed and testified in court, the judge increased the original fine from $115 to the maximum fine of $250. In addition to the five people who testified, there were an additional 10 people from East Linn Indivisible in the courtroom to show support for our members."
Way to go, East Linn Indivisible!
