Some people are very slow learners:
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The city of Grand Rapids says the Donald J. Trump for President 2024 campaign has refused to pay more than $49,000 in bills for two rallies in the city this year.
That is forcing the city to write off those expenses as uncollectable and to reevaluate policies for future campaign visits.
The unpaid invoices are for two rallies that drew thousands into the city, both at the Van Andel Arena.
Grand Rapids billed Trump’s campaign nearly $33,000 for his rally in July — the biggest chunks for overtime for police and its public works department.
The bill was due in October and went unpaid.
“It’s highly unusual to have outstanding bills, especially with someone who clearly had raised enough money from their campaign to pay their bills,” said outgoing Grand Rapids Mayor Rosalynn Bliss.
