SEIU Protestors Taken Into Custody At Statehouse

by Progress Illinois on June 30, 2009 - 1:59pm

Capitol Fax has video of several SEIU members being led out of the statehouse today after they blocked the doors of the House chamber.  From the reports we're getting, it's not entirely clear if they were arrested or just removed from the premises.  Regardless, this is indicative of the rising anxiety in Springfield. Watch it:

Gov. Quinn is scheduled to address lawmakers in a joint session on the budget at 3:30 pm.  WUIS will be streaming the audio for those interested in listening live.

Full disclosure: The SEIU Illinois State Council sponsors this website.
