Mitch Kahle<\/strong> and colleague Kevin Hughes<\/strong> are $100,000 richer, thanks to a settlement in their favor regarding a lawsuit against the state Senate sergeant-at-arms, staff and state sheriff’s deputies.<\/p>\n

“We’re pleased with the settlement, primarily because it sends a message to government that peaceful protest cannot be treated violently,” he told Civil Beat Tuesday (March 13). “And now that the sergeant-at-arms\u00a0and sheriff’s deputies have received training as a result of our lawsuit, we hope that this type of experience never happens again.”<\/p>\n

Kahle and Hughes sued the state after both say they were roughed up by Capitol security after they filmed a Senate invocation<\/strong> in April 2010. The exchange was also caught on tape.<\/p>\n

The Senate has since dropped<\/a> invocations, though the House has kept the tradition. Meanwhile, a House bill<\/a>\u00a0that gives security authority to deal with “disorderly” behavior<\/strong> at the Capitol \u2014 aka the “Stop Mitch Kahle”<\/a> bill \u2014 has a hearing this week.<\/p>\n
