Thousands Expected for Wall Street Protest 
-------------------------------------------



Thousands of people are expected to descend on Wall Street today for a
protest against austerity measures and financial industry wrongdoing.
Organizers of the May 12 Coalition say they will call on New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg to close tax loopholes and regulate financial
practices, instead of targeting the public sector with layoffs and
budget cuts.
