Title: Protesters hit Illinois center in wheelchairs By Neil Steinberg, Staff Writer Disabled protesters from around the country used their wheelchairs to block access to the State of Illinois Center on Wednesday, the fourth day in their call for state funds to be directed toward home care instead of nursing homes. “The people united will never be defeated," chanted about 200 protesters, blocking elevators, escalators and stairways at the building. “No more cuts.” There was no violence and no arrests, though protesters did scuffle briefly with police outside the governor's office, where they demanded a meeting with Gov. Edgar, who is in Springfield. Government business slowed to a near halt as state workers crowded the rings of balconies at the center, watching the chanting wheelchair activists on the main floor. Although employees could move among the upper floors by using the unblocked exterior staircases, it was often difficult to reach the ground floor. Two employees from the lieutenant governor's office found themselves trapped in a fire stairway when their attempt to take a garage elevator out of the building failed. “They captured the car elevator,” a maintenance man told the two young workers. Swearing, they tried another route. “This is starting to inconvenience me," one said. Tourists and school `groups` visiting the building got a surprise introduction to special-interest advocacy. An architecture club from Reading, Pa., here to appreciate the 16-story curving edifice designed by Helmut Jahn, stopped to reprimand protesters for keeping them off the elevators. State workers, some of whom literally climbed over the wheelchairs of protesters, also put in a word or two. “You are a lawless mob,“ a worker for the Department of Rehabilitative Services told a group of protesters blocking the elevator. “They have a right to protest," the worker said. “They don’t have a right to interfere with our lives."

Below on the floor level, a mass of people in wheelchairs, and a few standing, crowd the entire rest of the scene. Some are wearing ADAPT t-shirts.

The protest by disabled activists was the fourth in four days.
