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.

Protesters need to apply for a permit and put down a huge deposit for cleanup.

I agree, but most people are more upset that President Trump is going to charge the taxpayers for his new ‘heli-pad’...

The Loonie Left has their bloomers in a bunch over KelliAnn Conway putting her feet on the WH couch but no mention of the trash and stray dogs left at this “rally”. Makes sense to me.

These were the idiots who claimed that the XL would make a mess of the environment, right? That the land there was sacred and shouldn’t be defiled?

The tax payers of America for decades have to clean up the messes that the rats in America have left behind.

Obviously the protesting had little to do with the environment, and a lot to do with trashing progress.

Looks like a good place to use the people who have been sentenced to do community service.

The protesters not only made a complete mess of the place, they abandoned pets there.

There were several NGOs organizing and supporting this event. They may be tax exempt but they are not exempt from clean up costs of their staged events. Bill them.

Good suggestion!

Looks like a good place to use the people liberals who have been sentenced to do community service.

That shouldn’t be over costly. Just a little concrete. The benefits are that lost time for workers and tourists and the extra CIA protection and man hours getting from airport to Mar-a-Largo is probably more costly. Not to mention it may be safer.

The Pipeline goes long side the Indian Reservation...it doesn't even go on their area...why they were involved is beyond me...

Probably was told the pipeline would be going through their property is the only thing I can think of...

And leaving that much trash, and the animals, where is the concern for our eviroment that they are always screaming about...I hope President Trump shuts down the EPA and put those people on the streets to tend for themselves!!!
