Guess who picks up the tab for the $1m Dakota Pipeline protest clean-up ?
[Breitbart] The U.S. Army Corps will spend more than $1 million to clean up the mess left behind by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and others opposed to the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota. The protesters -- who succeeded in temporarily shutting down pipeline construction under orders from President Barack Obama -- were evicted after President Donald Trump put the pipeline project back online.
"The corps’ contract with a Florida-based company to provide trash removal and environmental cleanup includes the main Oceti Sakowin camp on the north side of the Cannonball River and the smaller Rosebud camp on the south side," the Bismarck Tribune reported on Friday. "Both are on corps’-owned property."
Despite efforts by the tribe to clean up the protest sites, the land was littered with garbage, and even cars and motor homes had to be removed.
