After Trump campaign bill goes unpaid, St. Cloud changes policy for charging event fees

St. Cloud has adopted new rules for recovering the costs of services it provides at special events.

The action was spurred in part by an unpaid bill for security and other services St. Cloud provided for then-presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign rally last summer.

The city billed the Trump campaign almost $209,000 for police, fire and information technology services and for changing a road construction project during the July 27 rally at St. Cloud State University.

The ordinance change the City Council approved last week is broader than just political rallies, however. City Clerk Seth Kauffman said the city is looking to recover staff time for providing police officers and setting up barriers at festivals, parades and other events.

... that The South End of a Northbound Yak NEVER pays his bills, because he's a lying, thieving shitweasel with the moral compass of a rabid hyena.
There's a few metaphors you can mix up to your heart's delight.

I'm sure he was at the event riding Trump's coattails.
