Passing the buck

Onto us taxpayers -- from the Los Angeles station KCAL:
Mayor Calls For Budget Cuts To Offset Millions In Occupy LA Costs
The City of Los Angeles reportedly faces millions of dollars in expenses brought about by the Occupy LA movement.

City agencies have been ordered to calculate what was spent on the Occupy LA protests.

Repairs to City Hall�s lawn where the Occupy group set up camp on Oct. 1 will require an estimated $400,000. The police action to clear out the encampment on Nov. 30 cost more than $700,000.

Additional expenses are attributed to hauling away debris from the camp, and cleaning up graffiti that defaced City Hall marble walls and trees.
The Occupy movement takes in donations -- send them the bill. Why should the L.A. taxpayers be put on the hook. Posted by DaveH at December 21, 2011 3:59 PM
