At one point the cost estimates for it were much lower. Then Davis did focus group polling which revealed that $60 million is the point at which public support for the recall begins to drop off due to cost concerns. After that focus group, every mention of the recall cost leaped over the magic $60 million line. In short, I suspect that the projected costs have more to do with Davis and his political survival than they do with the actual projected costs of the recall.
