"Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs decided to keep the building open, a decision he said he made in consultation with his policy team. He did not consult with Governor Scott Walker, he said." (via Isthmus)<br /><br />"After 4 p.m., most of the protesters were on the second level, where they were told to go if they planned on getting arrested. Many danced and chanted, as they have all week. A long standoff seemed likely."<br /><br />and former, and possibly future, mayor Paul Soglin said,<br /><br />“What I find even more curious is why Scott Walker would try to escalate by closing the building,” Soglin said. “There’s no upside for him.”<br /><br />The protesters included police and fire fighters.<br /><br />A former Dane County prosecutor, remaining inside, said,<br />“I think this is crucial for Wisconsin and America. I don’t think the police want us out of here.”<br /><br />At about 7 p.m., an announcement was made that the Capitol would remain open for the night, and the protestors could stay. Cheers erupted. But after that, the crowd began to thin out. While they wanted the power to stay in the Capitol all night, many of them prefer their beds to a marble floor.Nataraj Hauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795048392262165344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646370531220016655.post-74788689555484454182011-02-27T21:47:47.281-06:002011-02-27T21:47:47.281-06:00Thank you Nataraj!
