[Headline] Capitol Blockade

About 300 members of Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today (ADAPT), a group dedicated to better rights and services for the disabled, disrupted business Wednesday at the Capitol by blocking building entrances for about 45 minutes. State Police reopened an entrance at 1:30 p.m. and the protesters began to disperse at 3:30 p.m. after meeting with a representative of Gov. John Engler. Five were arrested for trespassing or disorderly conduct in the group's third day of protesting, State Police Inspector Gary Post said. ADAPT wants Engler, among other things, to ask House Speaker Newt Gingrich to propose earmarking 25 percent f the Medicaid nursing home budget for home and community services.
