"The cost of rehabilitating Chapman and Lownsdale squares after five weeks of an Occupy Portland encampment could be substantial, with the price tag hitting $100,000 or more. That is in addition to the police overtime costs for dealing with the protesters, currently pegged at nearly $1.3 million and rising."

I'm sure that the "99%" will pick up all the costs.
Fortunately (or unfortunately) this is a blip in Portland's bloated budget.
Remember when they had lots of money to underwrite political campaigns?

Up to $450,000 for mayoral candidates. Shoot, Occupy Portland isn't even up to what was spent from 2006 to 2010 to finance campaigns ($1,755,019). Still more than a quarter million dollars to go.
