Trump Refuses to Pay Mesa $64,000 in Security Fees

[TexasTowelie]

President Donald Trump was greeted with fanfare last October when he arrived at an airport hangar in Mesa via helicopter. He endorsed Arizona Republicans, criticized Democrats on immigration, and made 78 false or misleading claims.

The president's campaign also racked up a still-unpaid bill of $64,467 for police security-related services provided by the city of Mesa, according to a report Thursday from the Center for Public Integrity (CPI). The cost included police personnel for crowd and traffic control. Mesa also "rented equipment for a temporary parking area for 12,000 people which included barricades, security, and towing," according to a letter from city staff attorney Nancy Sorensen to the Trump campaign.

“It is our hope that the organization will do right by the taxpayers of Mesa and provide payment in a timely manner," Mesa City Manager Scott Butler told CPI.

CPI also found that the Trump campaign has refused to fulfill an invoice from the city of Tucson for $81,837 for 180 officers who provided security during a March 19, 2016, rally.
