The judge made no immediate ruling on the request.Authorities said that most of the bullets were found near the State Street entrance to the Capitol and around the King Plaza.

Madison — State officials plan to ask a Dane County judge this afternoon for a court order that would allow police to remove all unauthorized people inside the State Capitol.

The judge, Dane County Circuit Court Judge John Albert, did not rule on the order.

The draft order states: “By 3 p.m., DOA shall order that all unauthorized people, including those who have remained in the State Capitol past the building’s closing, exit the building at its closing time and that no unauthorized people shall be allowed to remain in the building after its closing time from now on.

“DOA shall take such steps as are necessary to conduct a security check of the State Capitol building and grounds.”

The draft order says that, if unauthorized people don’t leave, police can fine, remove or arrest people.

The draft order also requests that the Department of Administration be allowed to remove unauthorized materials posted or hung on walls inside the Capitol. The proposed deadline for removing materials would be 6 p.m. Thursday.

The stated purpose of the proposed order is to conduct a security check of the building and grounds.

The proposed order says the state would report back to Albert by noon Friday with a status report and with a plan regarding access to the Capitol.

The request came after University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Chief Sue Riseling said in a Dane County courtroom on Thursday that police this morning found 41rounds of .22-caliber ammunition outside of the State Capitol.

Riseling said 11 rounds were found outside the State St. entrance, 29 rounds near the King St. entrance and one round near the Hamilton St. area.

She testified that, “I don’t like to see live ammunition when I see significant crowds,” she said before Dane County Circuit Judge John Albert. “The presence of that doesn’t thrill me.”

The disclosure came as organized labor continued its legal effort to force the state to provide more access to the Capitol.

Later, Michael Huebsch, secretary of the state Department of Administration, said that officials had approached protesters inside the Capitol on Wednesday night, asking them to leave.

He said that Riseling told him that she had approached all of the protesters and asked them to leave. He said she told him that they declined the offer, though some offered varying timelines for when they might leave.

Huebsch also said that Riseling told him that some of the protesters still in the rotunda had mental-health problems.

I have $20.00 in my pocket that says that the live ammo was left by a pro-walker protester in a attempt to get the protesters out of the building. Ann? How could you? 😉

I somehow doubt quite highly that any pro-union protester would leave live ammo like that; it just does not sound right. I could be wrong and quite frankly; I hope I am. But I just do not buy that some union goon would be that stupid.

If I am wrong, then so be it; I will take my lumps. But until then, I don’t buy it.
