North Dakota's bill rises for oil pipeline protest costs

Source: KFGO News

BISMARCK - North Dakota's bill for policing protests of the Dakota Access pipeline continues to rise.

The North Dakota Emergency Commission is set to borrow an additional $5 million to cover law enforcement costs. That will bring the total line of credit from the state-owned bank of North Dakota to $39 million.

State Emergency Services spokeswoman Cecily Fong says 11 states provided law enforcement help to North Dakota, and some bills are only now arriving.

The Emergency Commission also is set to approve a $10 million federal grant to help pay state law enforcement bills related to the protests.

11 states had a wonderful 60 million dollar vacation sending hundreds of military trucks and toys, attack dogs & rubber bullets to crush 500 protesters on foot and about 35 horses.
