Sequester Hits the Hill: Capitol Lines 'Ridiculous, a 'Disaster'

Lines to get into the Capitol today are “ridiculous” and a “disaster,” according to staffers who work in members’ offices on Capitol Hill.

“The lines wrap around the building,” according to a Senate staffer, who says folks waiting in line to get inside are getting soaked by the steady stream of rain. “‪It’s very unusual. Lots of people late to meetings today. And now Obama’s pulling up to the Senate, so it’s going to be even more of a disaster.”
