Steve Grasty, an administrative judge in Harney County, said at a community meeting on Monday that he intends to bill the armed militia occupying a bird sanctuary as much as $75,000 per day.

According to the Guardian, Grasty, who opposes the militia, said that the occupation costs the community somewhere between $60,000 and $75,000 each day. The militia has been holed up in the federal wildlife refuge for 10 days. (It’s starting to get testy.)

The end may be in sight, though: Robert “LaVoy” Finicum announced on Tuesday that the militants would hold a community meeting on Friday at 7 o’clock to discuss their exit strategy. “I think there should be a dialogue,” Finicum—who, the Oregonian reports, was visibly armed—said. All, he added, are invited to attend.
