Zachary Hershman, protester spokesman, said the group had purchased tickets to the show and "if they let us stay, we'll just stay and keep coming back every day." Convention Center security guards stood in a line in front of the nine protesters, who shouted out, "Tell the truth, PNC!" They said they wanted J. William Mills, III, PNC's regional president, to come down to the show and sign a confession, admitting that the bank is "deceiving the people at the Flower Show, promoting itself as a 'green bank.'"
