ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump’s campaign still owes St. Cloud nearly $209,000 for services related to a July rally, city officials say.
The bill is for services beyond what the city normally provides.
A request for comment emailed by The Associated Press to Trump’s campaign was not immediately returned Monday.
Trump and running mate JD Vance spoke to a hockey arena on St. Cloud State University’s campus July 27. An overflow crowd watched Trump speak for more than an hour and a half on a big screen outside the arena.
Expenses include $63,000 for extra police work during the rally, $62,000 to change a construction project near where the rally was held, and close to $2,000 for IT-related services.
St. Cloud City Administrator Matt Staehling said the city bills the White House for campaign stops and other events that require city services, such as half-marathon races. The White House is not billed for official events.
Trump’s campaign in August paid a $35,000 bill from St. Cloud State University related to the July rally, Athletic Director Holly Schreiner said.
