Officials: Repair of Colorado’s Capitol will cost $1 million
DENVER -- Colorado officials say the cost of cleaning up vandalism to the state Capitol building is expected to total more than $1 million.
The damage occurred during protests against police violence that started May 28 in Denver after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Protests have continued as a result of the death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man put in a choke hold by suburban Denver police.
The Denver Post reports a fence was constructed around the state Capitol building to start repairs, which officials say were delayed due to ongoing vandalism.
