Originally Published 1 year ago — by ABC News
Former President Donald Trump's campaign has left numerous cities with unpaid bills for public safety costs incurred during his rallies, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cities like Albuquerque, Green Bay, and Erie have struggled to recover these expenses, which include overtime for police and first responders. While some cities have opted not to pursue reimbursement, others have hired collection agencies or required upfront payments for future events. The issue highlights the financial strain on local governments hosting large political events without guaranteed compensation.
