The new rules:
The Department of Administration says cleaning the Capitol will take longer than expected.
In a statement this morning, the agency said a cleaning crew began work last night with a second shift cleaning through today. A third will wrap up Monday night before law enforcement begins preparing tomorrow for the governor’s budget address.
DOA says the following procedures will be in place today:
• Visitors to the Capitol will enter at the King Street entrance.
• A handicapped entrance will be available at the Martin Luther King, Jr. entrance.
• Visitors will be admitted to meet with legislators and other officials who work in the building, to attend committee hearings and to observe the state Assembly and state Senate if they are in session.
• Capitol Police will be stationed at the King Street entrance and can assist members of the public who do not have an appointment, but who wish to see their legislators or meet with others in the building.
• Protestors will be allowed into the building, but crowd size will be adjusted to accommodate the cleaning crews, the preparation for the Tuesday’s joint legislative session and the number of protestors who remained in the building overnight.
• Items that created safety or fire hazards and were removed from the building beginning on Friday will not be allowed back in.
• Police will continue the practice that began on Saturday of disallowing items including sleeping bags, blankets and animals (other than service animals) into the building.
• Members of the media will enter the Capitol at the West Washington entrance.
sounds good to me...
Animals? They were bringing animals into the building?
I’d suggest them not filling the vending machines right now too.If they are hungry/thirsty they will have to leave.
