Walker Welding Capitol Windows NOW to Keep Workers from Passing Food to Those Inside

 

by Tula Connell, Feb 28, 2011

This from AFL-CIO Political Communications Director Eddie Vale who’s on the ground in Madison, Wis.

As we speak, Gov. Scott Walker & the Senate R’s are literally having the windows of the capital welded shut to keep people from passing food into the building to the people inside.

Our attorneys are collecting affidavits from the people who witnessed this, along with people who have been illegally denied access to a public, government, building.

 We will be filing for a TRO [temporary restraining order] to open the Capitol.

It is a sad for democracy when Governor Walker and his R Senate allies are locking the people of Wisconsin out of their own state capitol.

    Unbelievable. Damaging public property. Did you contact Madison/Milwaukee TV news, local newspapers, etc?

      I think you are correct on damaging Government property it is against the law, and think it is a felony to damage Government property.I also agree it is a fire and building code violation. Only wish I had a legal background.

    Wouldn’t this action be against the local Fire Code? Perhaps a Fire Fighter or Inspector could clarify …

    LOCAL FIRE….HAS TO BE AGAINST STATE FIRE CODES

    This may or may not be a code violation depending on the size and location of doors and grand father provisions in the fire codes for older construction. Many new building don’t have open-able windows. The point is that the Governor is being a bully and damaging the statehouse. He is a puppet for the ultra rich who want to pay no taxes, have no regulations and truly want to lower wages for unions and non union workers. Meanwhile the Koch brothers make lots of loot instantly gouging Minnesota on fuel that doesn’t even come from the Middle East. They control 70% of the refining capacity at the end of the pipeline from Canada. Liberty and justice for oil magnates?
