LOS ANGELES (CBS) — 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.

The city should send out “Thank an Occupier for cuts in city services” notes on the utility bills and such.

LA’s got the names of the ‘protesters’ and the organizations behind them. Some of these kids were being paid (see jobs listings on Craigslist)... The city needs to fine ‘Occupy’ ...

The mayor is a former LaRaza official, so I’m guessing he was pro-Occupy.

Send the bill to George Soros or the Obama campaign.
