From The Link:
IOWA (VFB) When Presidential candidates come to town, local police departments spring into action to ensure not only that candidates safety, but the safety of the public and everyone involved. Substantial time and resources are spent planning and executing such events, which if not reimbursed by the campaigns, must be covered by local taxpayers.
I think a lot of people just assume that those costs are being reimbursed, and they arent, Marshalltown, IA Police Chief Mike Tupper, told me over the phone Tuesday afternoon.
I am happy to report that Bernie Sanders paid.
Not only did Sanders pay, He actually asked up front how much, and he paid those costs, which makes him the first candidate to do so in my 23 years [of law enforcement in Iowa].
Much More, Plus Video @ Link

(57,349 posts)I'm not surprised but then again I'm a Vermonter. No wonder some of his opponent's supporters hate him so much. It takes a lot of time and effort to find a way to paint him as dishonest.
He's a mensch!

(1,377 posts)Many thin Trump got popular by being racist, which is true. But that only counts for part of his GOP success. They other part is attracting people who think he is great because he plays himself off as a winner. Another thing you have in common with the GOP base it seems.
