Nelson: No regrets for sit-in
Rep. Tom Nelson, D-Kaukauna, said he has "absolutely, positively no regrets on the sit-in."
Nelson has stayed in the Assembly Chambers since 9 a.m. Thursday morning in protest of the Legislature not passing a budget.
"This was the last, last, last chance to pass a budget," Nelson said. "It was now or never."
Nelson, who voted for passage, said the budget wasn't a perfect document, but the Legislature needed to do its job.
Nelson still won't be able to drive back to Kaukauna and sleep at home tonight: he's staying in Madison, because the Assembly is in session tomorrow. He just won't be spending the night at the Capitol.
