The private owner of Zuccotti Park in New York's Financial District says it's time to perform basic repairs and clean up after weeks of the camp-out by Occupy Wall Street. Mayor Bloomberg says the protesters should move, at least temporarily. Will there be a confrontation with the NYPD? Today Occupy Wall Street rejected owner Brookfield Properties' clean-up plan, saying protesters will do the cleaning themselves and take their brooms, mops, squeegees and other equipment to Wall Street itself. Justin Elliot is a staff writer at Salon.com.
