CONWAY — Six protesters descended upon The Four Corners on a chilly Thursday evening as part of a nationwide effort to pressure the U.S. Justice Department to follow through on the Attorney General’s statement that he could release more of the Mueller report.
Thursday’s local protest, which occurred at the intersections of Route 16, Washington Street and Pleasant Street, was organized by Albany resident Andy Davis.
