Capitol police trying to calm down congressional parties

CNN is reporting that the police officials have sent a letter to congressional leaders detailing the transformation of the stately Capitol building into something akin to a frat house during parties on Memorial Day and July 4. Coolers full of booze, marble hallways packed with drunken revelers… According to CNN, “while there have been no arrests, there have been falls and injuries that were blamed on excessive drinking, according to a congressional source who said there was a near fall from a balcony that could have been catastrophic.”
The police are suggesting limiting the soirees to lawmakers, their guests, and staffers with offices in the Capitol, the network reports. Leaders from both parties say they’re considering the suggestions.
