Wisconsin Police Set to Stage Sleep-In to Keep Capitol Open

State lawmakers approved a rule change two days ago that clears the way for limiting the public’s access to the state Capitol and ejecting people protesting Walker’s bill to take away public employees’ rights to bargain for good middle-class jobs.
