Another tea party protest is slated from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday on the state Capitol mall, organizers said.
There will be music, food and speakers, including Public Service Commissioner Kevin Cramer, conservative radio host Scott Hennen and local conservative blogger Rob Port.
Conservative groups organized similar protests in April to denounce federal spending and the country’s deficit.
I shouldn’t complain.
