State Rep Kelda Helen Roys, D-Madison, says she was denied access to the Capitol at several entrances this morning because she refused to show her Capitol ID card.

"I said I'm a representative, but I don't feel you have any legal basis for restricting my access whether I have a Capitol ID or not," she says. "And they said, 'Our orders are that no one gets in this building unless they have a Capitol ID.'"

She eventually got in by tagging along with a member of the media.

She says, several lobbyists were able to get in "without difficulty."

The doors to the Capitol have been closed today to protesters, who have set up camp to protest Gov. Scott Walkers proposal to undercut public employee union power. Pocan says Democrats are planning to hold a meeting at 2 p.m. on the proposal, which was abruptly approved by Republicans on Friday to the jeers of Democrats, many of whom say they didn't even get a chance to cast a vote. Pocan says he was told the public will be allowed in for the meeting, but access remained limited.

Roys says police were making people form a line, sign in, wear a sticker and enter the hearing one at a time, "which doesn't really sound like a public hearing to me," she says.
