Dept of Aviation – Airport (I assume for landing airforce one)
Fire department – Really not sure what they had to do with the rally unless they were there on stand by
Health department costs – have NO idea what this would be for
Streets and Maintenance – Maybe barricades?? I don’t know
Sun Metro costs – WHY???
Police department – Extra security??
“Since 2015, the Trump Campaign has held nearly 550 rallies all over the country, and this invoice is roughly 10 times the amount that a locality generally asks to be reimbursed,” Michael Glassner, chief operating officer with the Trump Campaign, told ABC News. “We are reviewing it.”
Suddenly a bill 10X what most cities bill the campaign? Yea I’d be taking a real close look at it as well and demand documentation and proff of what I was paying for.
Why didn’t Beto get charged for any officers at his rally (remember he doesn’t have SS protection0?
Why didn’t Beto get charged a health department fee?
Why wasn’t medical and/or fire on stand by at his rally for a charge?
So, the argument is made that Beto should have been charged more versus that fact that Trump should pay? You are also aware that Trump is President, so he gets a much more thorough security detail.
I’d like one Trump supporter to come in to this thread and start off by saying that Trump’s campaign should pay the tab. Then one can nit pick the crap out of who should be charged what.
Are you suggesting a world class business man that get a bill for 10X the amount of what he is usually charged for these services should just shrug his shoulders and pay it without questioning why this one is so much higher than the others?
Maybe the town was excited to have Beto come in, and then groaned over having to deal with the President also coming in. Probably gave Beto a few perks, whereas Trump’s visit was putting a lot of extra staff on alert. Having a town prepare for a President is no small or easy task.
Why you are asking me these questions, I have no idea. The question you should ask is “Why hasn’t the President’s campaign paid this already?” Here’s a town that might be hurting because they are waiting for payment for services rendered. Why is Trump screwing over the middle class?
Did Beto claim them on his reports? Is it legal for a city to donate time/services to a candidate (I know regualar businesses are forbiden and MUST charge for there services)?
Because they are questioning if they are being overcharged and are probably going through things and may ask for supporting documentation before paying.
