MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin legislator has left the state Assembly's Democratic caucus after being accused by fellow party members of threatening to kill three lawmakers. Assembly Democratic leaders said in a statement Saturday that they couldn't ignore Rep. Sylvia Ortiz-Velez's remarks after former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated in June. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that the Legislature's human resources office barred Ortiz-Velez from the state Capitol building last week. However, a spokesperson for Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says that move was a mistake and that Ortiz-Velez's access had been restored within a day.
