An Action 2 News reporter on the scene says a credible threat to safety has interrupted a hearing in the Senate Labor Committee about a right-to-work bill.
Police escorted the senators out of the chamber immediately after they vote 3-1 to approve the bill.
The hearing was halted 30 minutes before public comment was supposed to end.

Did he quit?
I’m a Vietnam vet. The worst people I have ever known are those vets whose war-is-hell claims of horrific experiences somehow made them crazy & entitle them to behave any way they want.
Quite a few are dead now, before their time.
Bravo for standing up to union thugs, sir.
I love the unions’ PR campaigns. Large demonstrations with crazy signs and goofy people chanting, “hey hey, ho ho,” (and a clever rhyme), occupying public spaces, civil disobedience, pouting and whining, and threats. Nothing like a great PR campaign to gain public sympathy.
Or a bomb threat.
Only since the beginning.
I know a few guys who are drawing pensions for everything I went through in Vietnam, and I know they don’t deserve a dime.
Evidently the VA can be played like a radio. It’s sad and depressing.
Long time ago they were just gangsters like this guy.
They just wanted the money.
Now, just like the Democrat party, the Commie left has taken over the unions. They want your freedom and to turn you into their slave. The threat now is not their street thugs. It's their bought and paid for politicians and their commie lawyers.
The VA needs its own “body count” to justify its funding so they’re not fussy about verifying DD 214s. Lots of phony vets may not be strutting about wearing unauthorized awards but they are drawing unauthorized benefits.
At least the Stolen Valor law has been rewritten to go after the latter.
I’ve been coached by coworker vets on how to apply for 100% disability based upon PTSD. Others say we are all Agent Orange victims. I flew an AO mission in a Huey, no symptoms to this day. So no thanks to all that.
“American unions have been taken over by thugs and criminals.”

My grandfather was beaten senseless in c.1920 for refusing to join the bakers union in Buffalo, NY.
Yep - "If they bring a knife, we bring a gun"...
