Trump's Bozeman rally highlights unpaid costs from past Montana visits

NBC Montana @ August 7, 2024 | "Donald Trump makes a campaign stop in Bozeman Friday night, headlining a rally at Montana State University’s Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. But a visit from the former president comes with a cost. Around the country, reports claim his campaign rarely pays invoices to local government for the increased police presence, security and other costs that come with hosting the event. Some places in Montana are still expecting payment. Back in 2018, Trump visited Montana four times, holding rallies in Billings, Bozeman, Great Falls and Missoula." 

-- Added note: The Butler, PA's local rep told the press that the reason the outer-buildings at the Trump rally weren't fully protected was lack of police officers. Likely meaning the lack of department funds, or outside monies, to pay for extra protection, etc. All secret service dollars come from the GOP majority congress. Local revenue from taxes. The Trump campaign could have paid more, or at least paid their past rally bills or additional, now overdue, security & traffic management costs.   Provide via Share / YouTube
