Democrats Say They Weren’t Consulted About Security Study

Democratic lawmakers say they weren’t given advance notice before the Joint Finance Committee gave its approval to a security study at the state Capitol.  They say Madison police weren’t notified either.  Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, a Republican, wondered how they can oppose looking at ways to improve safety in a building which sees so many visitors.  Democrats suggested an examination of the Capitol policy to allow some firearms on the premises.
