THE CAPITOL in MADISON



When passing near Madison, we had to stop to see Wisconsin's State House where the government’s legislative process had recently been halted by protesters. Here, mobs of demonstrators shouted, sat-in, and carried signs to vilify Governor Scott Walker and to disrupt his plan to give local communities more power in their negotiations with teachers’ unions. Wisconsin’s Capitol is a grand building with gilt, mosaics, paintings and all those architectural touches that make a public building an almost hallowed place to do the people’s business.
