Protesters Interrupt Corbett Town Hall Meeting



Protesters representing a number of causes repeatedly interrupted Gov. Tom Corbett during a town hall meeting in Philadelphia last night prompting an early end to the event.
 
Demonstrators at one point interrupted the Wednesday night program at the Philadelphia Museum of Art for seven minutes. Police removed more than 10 people. Several groups protesting expansion of the prison system unfurled banners and chanted "Fund education, not incarceration."

There were also protests about Corbett's support of natural gas drilling, his social service and education funding proposals and the scheduled Oct. 3 execution of death-row inmate Terrance Williams. No one injured and eventually calm was restored.
