Protesters who have turned out en masse for the past two weeks to oppose Republican Gov. Scott Walker?s budget repair bill are now fighting a second battle: Just getting through the Capitol doors. Also on Wednesday, testimony continued for a second day in Dane County Circuit Court to determine if current restrictions on public access to the Capitol are legal. UW-Madison Police Chief Susan Riseling, who is among the officials leading law enforcement efforts, testified that the protests have been “unprecedented” in their peacefulness.
