Is GMAC negotiating? Press conference 11am on Thursday at Rosemary's House

Wednesday night-- A proposal from GMAC to keep Rosemary Williams in her home appears to be on the table.  According to an email and phone call from Minneapolis City Councilwoman Elizabeth Glidden early this afternoon, a proposal has been pitched between Tom Moreno, CEO of GMAC ResCap, and Carolyn Olson, President of GMHC.  Glidden and others have informed the Minneapolis Police that an offer has been made.

After a somewhat tense night last night, tonight's mood is cautiously optimistic as the occupation at 3138 Clinton continues.  Thursday morning, all supporters are asked to come to an 11am press conference at which more details about the negotiations will be announced.  The words of GMAC and Elizabeth Glidden have been hollow before, but what impact has the continued holding of space on Clinton Avenue had?  We may find out Thursday.
