Police: No more sleeping bags, coolers in the Wis. Capitol
…Police told protesters who have been camping inside the Capitol building for eight days that they will begin collecting sleeping bags, coolers and folding chairs in an effort to return the Capitol to normal business hours Sunday night.
“We are closing the Capitol for a short period of time for public health reasons, as well as for general building maintenance,” Chief Charles Tubbs of the Wisconsin Capitol Police said in a statement issued late Friday. “Everyone agrees that our State Capitol is a source of pride for our state and that we should take a break to take care of the building.”
