Protesters disrupt Doyle news conference

By LARRY SANDLER and PATRICK MARLEY

Posted: Sept. 16, 2006

A group of unidentified protesters disrupted a news conference Friday by Gov. Jim Doyle, drowning out some of his comments on an E. coli outbreak and on Zoo Interchange reconstruction.

Chants such as "Dump Doyle!" "Liar!" and "State for sale!" continued throughout Doyle's comments.

The Democratic governor's aides blamed the disruption on the campaign of U.S. Rep. Mark Green, Doyle's Republican opponent in the Nov. 7 election. The Green camp denied responsibility.

The protesters, less than a dozen in number, carried homemade signs and at least one megaphone. They arrived at the Watertown Plank Road park-and-ride lot in Wauwatosa before the start of the news conference.

Doyle tried to wait them out, then started and stopped his comments a few times before deciding to ignore the protesters and press on.

Some of the signs referred to a University of Wisconsin tuition increase. Other chants included "Travelgate!" and "Tax freeze fraud!"


Larry Sandler reported for this story in Wauwatosa and Patrick Marley in Madison.

From the Sept. 16, 2006 editions of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
