City of Albuquerque refers Trump campaign bill to collection agency

FreeinChrist · Apr 24, 2021

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The City of Albuquerque referred the Trump campaign to a collection agency.

The city is seeking approximately $200,000 following the president's rally in Rio Rancho in 2019.

Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said the bill covers security costs that stem from the former president staying in a downtown Albuquerque hotel overnight.

The security cost include blocking off parts of downtown, paying police officers overtime and covering the paid time off expenses of city workers who had to stay home.

hmmmm

hmmmm

Hmmmm indeed. I wonder if Trump signed a contract for all of the actions listed? Was the city under any legal obligation to provide the service described?

Mayor Tim Keller
@MayorKeller
Just to clarify, we would accept one check from him for the amount of roughly $200,000 for services rendered.

He's got the campaign money to pay it but if he does how many other campaign sites will expect to get paid?

Let me guess - Albuquerque leans... left.

Does anyone who doesn’t let Trump steal from them automatically mean they lean left? Is that a requirement to be part of the Right now, williningly let Trump take your money?

I know a lot of electricians and construction workers that lean left in New Jersey.

Meh... as is typical in "stories" like this, there's always more going on than what the headline is sensationalizing.

Okay, what else is going on?

DerSchweik · May 21, 2021

No idea. Merely said there usually is.

Clearly it is part of a secret plot run by Pelosi, AOC, and Biden with help from a squad of Deep State operatives who belong to an international globalist cabal of Satanic Child molesters who have been replacing high level government officials with shape shifting reptile/lizard people form a far away star system located near a constellation we call seven sisters. They had been secretly working with Hillary, Soros, and a reanimated Hugo Chavez with the Dominion people to change votes from Trump to Biden. They got busted by Rudy and My Trump Pillow guy so they "created" this Albuquerque story to draw attention away from the plan to incinerate the fake bamboo ballots using the Obama space laser.

And a paint shop in FL.

And all those people who paid the Trump University. They sued and got at least some of their money back.

No, you said "always". So, you're just speculating idly?

Wow, that's a lot going on!

You know, you're right! I did say "always," didn't I? Thank you so much for being so diligent and precise in correcting me like that.

A bit snippy there, eh?

DerSchweik · May 22, 2021

Not at all

I should've said there "always" is something else going on in stories like this. Or, there is "usually" something else going on in stories like this. I mixed the two up and you corrected me.

Again, thank you.

As to what that "always" or "usually" something else might be - dunno, but there always, or usually is something else to the story, any story. Just saying.

You'll have to wait for a press conference at a landscaping company to hear more.

"According to the Center for Public Integrity (CPI), interviews with municipal officials and municipal records and statements show that Trump's campaign has not paid at least 14 bills totaling more than $1.82 million. The unpaid money was used to cover public safety and police costs related to the president's campaign rallies."

14 U.S. cities still waiting for Trump campaign to pay nearly $2M in police, public safety bills

So not much different from his history of dealing with contractors, suppliers, employees, etc. ....

The level of incompantance and outright buffoonery has been missed.

"Center for Public Integrity?"

From their website:
The Center for Public Integrity inspires change using investigative reporting that reveals the causes and effects of inequality. Discriminatory systems in employment, housing, health care, education and access to democracy affect people based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, immigration status and income.... places problems within the historical context of inequality in America.

Just about every liberal, leftist buzzword and phrase there is.

How utterly... ironic.
