Wisconsin Capitol cleanup will cost a whole lot less than Gov. Scott Walker estimated

Remember this?

 

Remember the millions of dollars of damage all those stinky, uniony protesters supposedly did to the Wisconsin Capitol building?

And remember the battle of the damage-to-the-Wisconsin-Capitol costs (State says damage to marble at Capitol could hit $7.5 million vs.DOA now estimate Capitol damage as low as $350,000)?

The Walker administration quickly acknowledged the $7.5 million cleanup cost was overstated, and had little more than some figures written on a sheet of notebook paper to back the estimate.

Hey, me too! But, oops, there’s been another revision. The Sheboygan Press is reporting that… well, I’ll let them tell you:

MADISON — Cleaning and restoring the state Capitol after last year’s massive protests will cost about $200,000, according to the state Department of Administration, a total that’s millions of dollars less than a state official’s initial estimate of $7.5 million.

So, let’s see… 7.5 million minus 200K, times GOP fail, plus anti-union bias, divided by idiocy, carry the talking points… Walker was only off by about $7,300,000.

Anybody could have made a tiny error like that. Scotty’s made a bunch of ‘em.

So the actual costs from those “slobs” practicing their First Amendment rights were even less than the first correction indicated. And a whole lot less than the RWNJ falsely claimed.

    Only off by a factor of 37.5. Trivia. A mere rounding error.
