Assemblyman begins sit-in over budget impasse MILWAUKEE, WI (wuwm) - State Representative Thomas Nelson plans to camp-out at the state capitol for weeks, if need be. The Kaukauna Democratic says he'll remain in the assembly chambers until the legislature passes a budget. That was supposed to happen by July first, but Democrats and Republicans have failed to reach a compromise. Nelson told WUWM's Marge Pitrof via a cell phone from the assembly hall, that he plans to remain in his chair, outside of taking a few breaks. © Copyright 2009, wuwm
