The Center for Public Integrity in 2019 identified eight other cities across the country that it said were trying to claim a total of about $700,000 from the Trump campaign

FEC states candidates not responsible?

The Federal Election Commission confirmed that there is no requirement “for congressional or presidential campaign committees to pay for expenses incurred by a state or local municipality in connection with a federal officeholder’s or candidate’s campaign event.” If candidates do foot the bill, they are allowed to use campaign funds to pay security costs, the FEC said.

Tucson's smart!

Mandel said that due to the experience of not getting paid by either campaign for the 2016 rallies, Tucson has since changed the licensing agreement and policy for its convention center. Not only are event organizers responsible for all costs including security costs to use the convention center, they now must pay the costs in advance to be given access to the facility.

Wonder if this is a ploy to absolve himself of financial responsibility

Trump will not be appearing as a candidate at Saturday’s event in Prescott Valley but will instead be there to rally support for the Republican candidates he has endorsed in Arizona.

1. Tucson is run by Democrats! So, yes indeed, Tucson is smart 🙂

2. That's $100 million his rubes won't be spending in other parts of the economy.

3. Maybe the local city can just not provide any extra police services.

Warn the locals to avoid the area unless they want to be part of a traffic jam.

Bring a book

(Just dreaming... It would not work)

4. Guess some places want to protect their citizens. But

Think a city just did exactly what you said. Don't recall which one tho.
