The city decided against pursuing legal action against the Sanders and Trump campaigns due to the potential costs, which might have outweighed any potential financial recovery and placed the burden for legal fees on taxpayers, Squire said.

Pathetic. Straight up admitting the city will only go after working class people while leaving rich people off the hook for $80k bills. Pursue legal action and have Trump pay the legal fees of both parties when he loses.

They're not wrong, but this is a broken failure of our legal system at work that rewards the wealthy

This is why ACAB doesn't go far enough. Prosecutors and judges are just as guilty if not more.

Why does anyone allow him to have a post-paid account. It needs to be retainer order

Grifters gonna grift.

Because the GOP's packed with a bunch of simps who genuinely think Trump loves them.

I had family that used to live in Sierra Vista. That's some deep Trump country that wouldn't mind taking a loss to have him visit.

Bernie too? Wtf? Is this more common than I thought?

Are you implying that Trump doesn't pay his bills? The audacity! Harold, being me my pearls at once that I might clutch them!

Better bring the vapors too

Interesting. This kind of bill is for costs incurred as a result of the rally rather than for directly using the facilities, e.g. paying for an increased police presence to control protestors. Seems like candidates are not really obligated to pay for this.
