Budget Protesters Arrested at Capitol

17 activists were arrested by Capitol Police on Tuesday for disorderly conduct when they refused to move a protest that was blocking entrances and hallways in the building.
According to a press release from New York Stimulus Alliance, over a hundred grass roots activists came to capitol to protest Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposed budget, which they said favors corporate interests and unfairly cuts needed areas.
Here is a brief video from the event:
