.... Gov. Kate Brown of Oregon is seeking up to $1 million from the Legislature to offset expenditures by counties and towns, and she said the state, in turn, would seek reimbursement from the federal government.

Ronald T. Hosko, a former assistant director of the F.B.I.’s criminal investigative division, said that he thought the agency would pay for its own personnel, but that the State of Oregon and the counties affected would more than likely be expected to cover their own costs. “It’s going to be every agency for themselves,” he said.

The governor’s $1 million figure, equal to half of the law enforcement budget of Harney County, where the refuge is, is based on the estimated cost of personnel, transportation and lodging incurred by the state’s 36 counties, which all sent reinforcements to help Harney County deal with the occupation, said Kristen Grainger, a spokeswoman for the governor.

Harney County alone spent nearly $240,000 through the end of January, the latest figures available, said Laura Cleland, who was contracted to act as the county’s temporary spokeswoman during the standoff. Ms. Cleland’s $6,400 monthly fee is included in the county’s tabulation of the cost of the standoff.

Judge Steven E. Grasty of Harney County, who also serves on the county commission, said the total cost to the county could reach $500,000. Judge Grasty said the county planned to seek reimbursement directly from the occupiers, and was prepared to take legal action. ...........
