UPDATE Via Nice Deb:
Although this post wasn’t supposed to be more about the tea partiers than about the cost of the clean-up, some commenters seem fixated on the “high-end” estimate made by state officials.
So I feel it’s necessary to mention that they have indeed come out with a revised estimate since that initial report:
MADISON – State officials have the revised the estimated price tag of cleanup at the Capitol.
Yesterday, officials said the job could cost more than $7 million dollars. Now they’re saying it could cost as little as $350,000.
The concern is over reside left behind by protestors inside the historic building over the last three weeks, specifically, adhesive from posters taped to the Capitol’s stone, marble and wood surfaces.
Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch is now saying that was a high-end estimate.

Still, the head of a masonry company that has done work to the Capitol in the past, says $7 million dollars wasn’t so far off the mark. Jim Durham of Quarra Stone says you can’t just use household cleaners in the historic building:
“It’s going to soak up hand prints, oil from your skin. It’s going to soak up the adhesives of the tape.”
A painter’s union has stepped up and offered to clean up the Capitol for free.The painter union deserves major kudos for offering their help for free, too. Especially since it seems the work they will be doing is the more expensive labor.
Agreed. But the mess should have never been made, in the first damned place; idiot assholes. 😡
