    $15 an hour for the union groundskeeper, minimum six hour shift.

    $5 depreciation for using the ladder.

    $75 for health and safety

    $25 an hour for the manager to answer a phone call about where the ladder was

    $5 mileage on the maintenance truck.

    Shit adds up.

      Not to mention handling media requests, as it’s constantly in the news.

      There’s no length they wouldn’t go to to prevent people from enjoying things. Next they’ll probably find the culprit and press terrorism charges on him.

      alternatively they could hypothetically just remove it during routine maintenance. Also its rather unlikely that they’d really need to use the ladder- I rather doubt people are scaling sculptures to slap them on things. it’s going to be mostly in reach of the ground.

      A bigger problem is that most cities and towns will have an ordinance requiring immediate removal- meant to combat graffiti; and while most cities won’t be arsed to follow the ordinance themselves when Karen calls… well, it’s just less annoying to send the dang truck on a special job.
