Evicting protesters from their encampment around City Hall last month cost Los Angeles taxpayers $2.35 million, officials said today.
The estimate was released by City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana. The two-month demonstration, an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street protest that began in New York on Sept. 17, was intended to highlight income inequality in America.
