Local organizers can call today's Cape Girardeau tax protest a success, judging by attendance.
A Southeast Missourian reporter on scene at Capaha Park estimated around 300 people at the protest just after 5 p.m. The protest continues until 7 p.m.
The local protest was organized as part of a national protest against high taxes coinciding with income tax filing deadline day.
Check back later tonight for more on this story and photos of the event.
