Protesters find missing state Senate Democrats in Illinois
By The Associated Press
Feb. 22, 2011 1:08 p.m. | One of the 14 Wisconsin senators who has been hiding out in Illinois with his Democratic colleagues says protesters have discovered the hotel where many of the lawmakers are staying.

State Sen. Chris Larson said Tuesday that the senators were trying to keep their locations a secret because they were concerned for their safety. For example, he said, someone e-mailed him threatening to burn down his house.

Larson was speaking by cell phone Tuesday when protesters pulled up in front of his hotel. He said he and his fellow Democrats would likely move, although he wasn't sure whether that meant going to a different hotel or a different city.

The Democrats left the state Thursday to prevent a vote on a Republican Gov. Scott Walker's sweeping bill that would limit unions' collective bargaining.(65)

1. Rockford I can see but Chicago? Were they out in the burbs?

Seems so easy to get lost here in the city.

I think they should go to private homes - I'm sure there are plenty of folks in this area that would take them in. Spread out guys!!
