El Paso said it wasn’t paid when President Trump visited. Orlando will get its money up front.
Days after President Donald Trump announced that he would kick off his 2020 presidential bid with an Orlando rally June 18, news surfaced that El Paso, Texas, was still waiting to be paid $470,000 from a February campaign visit.
The El Paso Times revealed this week that the Trump campaign did not pay the border town what it was owed after the “Make America Great Again” event that Trump used to tout his plans for a wall.
So far, Trump is making on-time payments to Orlando. The city received the first $72,000 installment from the campaign that was due June 3, said Cassandra Lafser, a spokeswoman for Mayor Buddy Dyer. The final installment is due June 10.
That is business as usual in Orlando, where venues require payment in advance of events, Lafser said.
