Polygamist Case Cost to State? $5.5 Million.. So Far
About $5.5 million in the last month. That's what state agency leaders reporting to the Senate Finance Committee this morning estimate is the total cost of goods, services and "things at Walmart and Target" for the Eldorado raid and response. (That's $5.3 mil not budgeted for in the agency budgets, and already invoiced. There's another two million or so that they expect to be filed in the next few weeks.)
Ongoing monthly costs are expected to be about $1.7million a month, assuming all the children remain in state care... these are foster care placement costs, staffing, etc.
"We haven't even talked about the legal costs, and that's going to be a big number," said State Senator Steve Ogden, R-Bryan, who chairs the committee.
