Convention sanitation worries planners at national conventions
Miami Beach public health official John Eckoff warns that portable toilets will be the major challenge for 100000 protesters camping near the Democratic and Republican conventions. He estimates 500 porta potties costing about 115000 for July 10 to Aug 23 service, with six minute per person daily usage and long daytime lines. A protest coalition seeks 100000 camping spaces for nondelegates.
