Pennsylvania Mayor Seeks Advance Payment From Trump Campaign For Upcoming Rally After Past Nonpayment

The mayor of Erie, Pennsylvania is requesting the Trump campaign pay $35,129 in advance of an upcoming rally, to cover municipal costs like police overtime.
The request comes after the campaign failed to reimburse the city for similar costs from a previous rally held there in 2018.
With over $22 million on hand, the Trump campaign has the funds to easily cover these costs, though it has left many cities unpaid for past rallies.
Several other cities are also owed money by the Trump campaign for security and other municipal services provided during past rallies.
It remains unclear if the campaign will agree to pay Erie and other cities up front to avoid further unpaid bills.
