xxxxxxxpimptaddyone states that - "Once again, the slobby leftists that just can't seem to clean up after themselves (you know...like after Obama's inauguration and pretty much any other "speaking truth to power" event they get going? ;-) are going to stick Joe Taxpayer with the clean-up bill after they've had their moment in the sun. This time, estimates are that the tab to police up all the Starbucks cups, Whole Foods bio-degradable produce bags and professionally printed and assembled protest signs left in and around the Wisconsin Capitol area (grounds and buildings) is going to cost residents of the state about $7.5 million bucks

State officials today announced that it could cost up to $7.5 to clean up after the leftist protesters in Madison."

MADISON — Wisconsin officials now say the cost to repair damage at the state Capitol could be as low as $350,000.

Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch (HIPSH) says the original $7.5 million estimate to repair marble damaged by tape was a "high-end" estimate. An updated report from DOA says a majority of the nearly $350,000 would cover a crew to perform "very limited" restoration on marble as well as landscape restoration.


DOA originally said it would need $7 million to repair damage and between $60,000 and $500,000 just to assess the condition of the building.
