LA Mayor Villaraigosa Calls For Budget Cuts To Offset Millions In #OccupyLA Costs

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. - losangeles.cbslocal.com

Additional expenses are attributed to hauling away debris from the camp, and cleaning up graffiti that defaced City Hall marble walls and trees.
