Summary

Albuquerque officials say Trump now owes the city $444,986 over five years.

Trump’s campaign has left numerous cities with hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid bills for public safety costs incurred during his rallies. Some cities have hired law firms to collect the debts, while others have required campaigns to pay estimated costs in advance. Despite Trump’s support for law enforcement, his campaign has consistently failed to reimburse local governments for the expenses they incur.

    You can’t really block a legitimate political party without some serious repercussions

      I used to do work at a high security site. One day the fire department was there for inspection. Out of curiosity I asked the chief what happens if he needs access and he is declined it for whatever reason. He pointed at the truck and said “This truck along with it’s contents are the key to the city. Nobody can stop me”. That day I learned that nobody can stop the fire department.

      Yeah, but if they have a history of not paying, it seems they should be treated like any other outfit that act like deadbeats.
