This same Bill Line claimed after “Glenn Beck’s August rally, the Park Service found damage on the National Mall that it estimated to be in the range of $5,000 to $10,000” (last paragraph of link). Wonder what his estimate of the 10/2 damage is...

Seems like he has an ax to grind with conservatives.

Bill Line knows where his bread is buttered. He is yet another politically sensitive loser employed by taxpayers. He should be fired immediately and deported. What a goof. There were two piles of trash at the Saturday rally: the attendees & their refuse. We have been to three Tea Party events in WDC downtown. There was NO trash outside the waste containers.

Thanks. There’s no other mention of it, so my guess would be that it is for sod repair. The Park Service has gotten quite fussy in recent years about maintaining the grass. They require expensive rubber mats to protect the grass from heavy equipment and vehicles.

I DON'T think so - I was there - and I saw NO damage or litter whatsoever. I'd like him to prove that.
