Mayor Calls For Budget Cuts To Offset Millions In Occupy LA Costs
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.
Mayor Villaraigosa says more budget cuts will be necessary to offset the costs.

Merry Christmas, Los Angeles… be sure to send Mayor Villaraigosa a big Thank You!!!
Elect prog nitwits and this is what you get. I think the Mayor should ask his cult leader obama to reimburse his great city for these expenses. After all wasn’t it obama who encouraged the OWS lawlessness?
