COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper says anti-Wall Street protesters are hurting their cause after they interrupted his remarks at a groundbreaking for a new solar project.
Hickenlooper allowed the chants from about a dozen protesters in Colorado Springs to go on for several minutes on Tuesday. He then told the protesters that there are a lot of people who agree that Wall Street companies got a slap on the wrist, but he says the protesters are not helping their cause.
Protester Hossein Forouzandeh told the Colorado Springs Gazette ( ) the protesters are not opposing the solar project, but they are upset that the governor has been ignoring requests to meet with them.
