Assembly leaders packed dozens of maskless adults and children into a small hearing room in the Wisconsin State Capitol on Wednesday in the latest sign that Republicans who control the legislative process do not plan to adopt COVID-19 mitigation rules.
The crowd of people gathering together without face masks is again ringing alarm bells for Democratic lawmakers who say the behavior puts Capitol workers' health at risk and discourages people from participating in the democratic process.

Roys asked Republican Sen. Alberta Darling, who wore a mask on the floor on Thursday, if she would talk to her colleagues about wearing masks during floor sessions. Darling declined.
"I chose to wear a mask today because many of you feel very strongly about it and I want to respect your opinion, but I will not take on other members of my caucus who choose not to wear masks," Darling told Roys.
"This isn't about masks, it's about the individual's ability to do what they think is right for themselves and I don't think they feel the same as many about the coronavirus in terms of how it spreads and so I respect that opinion, too," she said.
