Wisconsin Tea Partiers clean up mess left by protesters With all the protests at the Wisconsin State Capitol by public union workers and democrats, State officials said Thursday that damage to the marble inside and out the State Capitol would cost an estimated $7.5 million. Cari Anne Renlund, chief legal counsel for the state Department of Administration, said in Dane County court that estimates of damage to marble includes $6 million to repair damaged marble inside the Capitol, $1 million for damage outside and $500,000 for costs to supervise the damage. Much of the damage apparently has come from tape used to put up signs and placards at the Capitol. It was not immediately clear how the estimates were made, though the state is apparently relying on opinions by historical architects, one of whom works for the U.S. Park Service. One concern is the residue from tape that the state says is causing damage to stone and other surfaces inside the Capitol. Tea Partiers are known for the cleanliness, especially after many high-profile events throughout the past two years. Wisconsin Tea Partiers organized a clean up after the messy protesters.
