L.A. might sue Occupy L.A. protesters for financial damages
Los Angeles City Atty. Carmen Trutanich is considering a lawsuit against Occupy L.A. protesters to reimburse the city for damage caused during the occupation of the City Hall lawn. "The city is contemplating any and all of its options," said William Carter, Trutanich's chief deputy. The two-month encampment cost the city at least $2.35 million, not counting repairs to the lawn and fountain outside City Hall, according to a report issued Friday.
