Jim Hightower, a well-known commentator, public speaker, author, and political activist, voiced support for the Tavern on the Green workers' fight to protect their union contract in his newspaper column "The Hightower Report." Hightower wrote, "[Dean] Poll wants to trash the existing agreement that had been negotiated with the union and replace it with a new 23-section dictum that essentially says, 'Poll rules.'" He helpfully included the web address of the HTC web site so readers of the Chronicle could stay informed about developments.
