Report: Officials order kitchen, heaters removed from Occupy Lansing

By WKAR / LSJ

LANSING, MI –

Health officials have ordered Occupy Lansing protesters to dismantle a kitchen at its Reutter Park site. According to the Lansing State Journal, demonstrators were complying with the order Tuesday afternoon after an inspector from the Ingham County Health Department said the kitchen violated the county health code.

Monday night, a city of Lansing fire inspector confiscated two heaters from the site, apparently claiming violation of safety codes.

One protestor says the group will continue its gathering.
