The fine men who supported liberty over the federal government made a mess of the federal government’s building but that ain’t all.

In addition to costing Harney County $3.3 million (so far) in costs for services and overtime, leaving ditches full of feces and probably destroying rare artifacts, it turns out the Bundy Bunch also mooched over at the local senior center’s food bank.

No kidding, the Bundy Bunch raided the local senior citizen food bank, where they get government subsidies to keep the program going.

Executive Director Angie Lamborn encountered new faces among the regular visitors during the occupation. They asked for extra food and acknowledged they weren’t full-time residents, she said.

Lamborn couldn’t quantify the impact on the senior center’s finances, but she said they’ve “taken a pretty big hit” as a result.

Think they had a run on snacks and French Vanilla creamer?

Self-reliance, my sweet patootie.

Thanks to Charles for the heads up.
