OCCUPY OAKLAND MOVEMENT NOW COSTING IN THE 3 MILLIONS

The news spotlight has moved elsewhere, but Oakland continues to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars a month for the Occupy protests.
Every week for the past month, more than 100 cops, or roughly one-fifth of the city's patrol force, are called in to work the Saturday night Occupy demonstration held downtown.
Estimated cost: about $50,000 a week.
City officials now estimate their overall Occupy tab is up to $3 million and counting - this at a time when up to 400 city workers will likely be laid off Feb. 1 for lack of money.

Sheesh they need to pack it up and go home already.
