This can't be an isolated incident. I wonder how many other towns and cities his campaign has stiffed. Oh wait, there's plenty of them; at least $2 million in outstanding policing bills, according to an article from 2021.
[quote] Wildwood, N.J. Mayor Pete Byron hosted a Trump rally last January, but Trump still hasn’t paid more than $30,000 in police and security overtime.
“We could certainly use the $32,000, like probably every municipality, especially after the year we’ve gone through," the mayor said.
The city of Albuquerque, New Mexico is out $211,175 from a Trump rally in 2019.
“Unsurprisingly, we have not received payment,” said the city’s public information officer Jessica Campbell. “We have billed the Trump campaign a number of times since they left taxpayers on the hook. We want them to make it right, and won’t give up until they do.”
In Spokane, Wash., they’re missing $65,124 from a 2016 Trump rally.
“City Council is not happy about this trend and has asked the administration to develop a new policy that insists on pre-payment, but that has not yet been implemented,” a city spokesperson from Spokane said.
Mesa, Ariz., is still waiting for Trump to pay back $64,000.
Burlington, VT: $8,464 from a Trump rally in January, 2016. [/quote]
