"Sioux City emails detail struggle to get payments for Trump rally; over $11,000 left unpaid"

2. $11,000 is a relatively small stiffing by Trump

Hope they learned a lesson. Many other towns had learned that lesson before. Some now demand that the Trump group pay up front before any rally is allowed. Sioux City should have done that.

Interesting that it appears neither the Reynolds group or the Grassley group that the rally was for apparently have not offered to pay any of the bill.

Zip up your wallets when there is a Trump in town, folks.

4. I don't know what the limit is in that state but they should take it

to small claims court. Trump's lawyers would not be welcome.

5. I think so too! Its just not right..

and anything that would put a burr under TGF saddle is a good thing.. He has just gotten away with so much all his life.. that he thinks he can play in the courts like a pig in mud..

6. It's $6500. Prior to July 1, 2018, it was $5000.

7. Wow they need to increase those limits. We have a limit of $50,000 in our province

and others are $25,000. Then again we Canadians are not quite as litigious as Americans.

President Donald Trump publicly pledged “all the support of the federal government” on Saturday after 22 people were shot to death in an El Paso Walmart this weekend.

But his statements are prompting charges of hypocrisy because the city claims the president’s political campaign owes an outstanding debt from a February campaign rally — specifically, more than half a million dollars.

On Monday, an El Paso city official said Trump has yet to pay.

According to Laura Cruz-Acosta, communications manager for the El Paso city manager’s office, the president has an outstanding bill of $569,204.63 for police and public safety services associated with a February campaign rally.

“The city staff have followed the process and procedures as it relates to any invoicing that we provide, and we will continue to do so accordingly as per city and state policies,” Cruz-Acosta said. She said that Trump owed an initial fee of $470,417.05 but that the city tacked on a 21% one-time late fee in June — 30 days after the campaign failed to pay the initial amount owed.

Some heads at Trump are going to roll, " 11, 000 - What the hell! I told you to roll up that bill!"
