DOA won't appeal court ruling in favor of Capitol singers
http://m.wkow.com/w/main/story/126430236/MADISON (WKOW) - The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) will not appeal a January 29 court ruling that found it was unconstitutional for the agency to require a permit for the daily solidarity singalong held at the State Capitol.
The unanimous decision from a three-judge Wisconsin Fourth District Appeals Court panel upheld a lower court ruling from Dane County, which meant the more than 300 citations handed out to singers and other protesters by Capitol Police are null and void.

but at this point, I think we can thank the fact that Walker doesn't want this dogging him while he's running for the presidency. Up until even just a couple of days ago, the DOA was still leading us to believe that they'd be appealing.
They're not so appealing, after all!
A WOO and a HOOOOOooo!
Edited to add that we're still there, every weekday from noon until one - in the Rotunda, unless there's a permitted event for that time, in which case we're outside. Then again every day for the last 20 - 30 minutes before the Capitol closes! Come join us!
