The 41-day occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge had a widespread impact, affecting 47 federal, state, and local authorities, and ringing up a bill that totaled $3.3 million and counting, according to reporting by The Oregonian.

Over one-third of those expenses were incurred by Oregon State Police to the tune of $1.2 million in overtime, wages, fuel, and lodging. An additional $788,500 went to other law enforcement agencies providing support.

In addition to law enforcement costs, the occupation forced the local school systems to shell out between $143,000 and $160,000 in wages to teachers and other staff who were forced to stay home during the fist week of the takeover. That doesn’t include the $16,000 spent on counseling and additional security.
