Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order at the state Capitol since April 1, newly released figures show, and the figure is likely to go much higher as authorities brace for the biggest protest yet on Saturday. The figures, released to The Sacramento Bee Friday in response to a California Public Records Act request, show the CHP has paid out $801,544.03 in overtime for officers and $185,548.86 for sergeants at the demonstrations. The agency has deployed hundreds of officers and sergeants at a time to ring the north, south and west sides of the grounds to prevent protesters from gathering on the downtown Sacramento property since a May 1 standoff resulted in 32 arrests. *Click on the link for the rest.* -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
