https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-returns-to-pennsylvania-with-a-35-000-unpaid-bill/ar-AA1eisb7The mayor of Erie, Pennsylvania, is asking Donald Trump's campaign to reimburse the city tens of thousands of dollars in relation to a 2018 rally that the former president held.
Trump is set to return to Erie, a western Pennsylvania city that helped propel him to the White House in 2016, on Saturday for another rally as he aims to strike up support amongst voters ahead of the 2024 Republican presidential primary. The former president is expected to take the stage to deliver remarks at the Erie Insurance Arena at 6 p.m. ET.
Erie Mayor Joe Schember is again requesting for Trump to pay the city $35,129 for a rally that he held in 2018, the Erie Times-News reported on Monday. City officials first attempted to bill Trump's campaign for the rally, which attracted 12,000 people to downtown Erie in October 2018, nearly five years prior, but never heard back from Trump's team, the newspaper reported.
The requested funds were related to overtime pay for city employees who were needed to work the event, including police officers, according to the Erie Times-News.
