GREEN BAY - The city is asking a federal court to make former President Donald Trump pay $14,000 in legal fees after his campaign targeted Green Bay in an election lawsuit that was ultimately thrown out.

City officials joined Kenosha and Racine in making the request days after Gov. Tony Evers asked for $145,000 in legal fees for the same case to shield taxpayers from the cost. A law firm representing the three cities' mayors and clerks charged around $42,000, and Green Bay owes a third of that amount.

The case against the municipalities was among a string of failed lawsuits Trump and his allies filed after he narrowly lost Wisconsin to President Joe Biden.

Trump sought to have the Republican-controlled Legislature decide how to award the state's 10 electoral votes instead of voters, arguing that long-standing voting practices in Wisconsin were improper. Among other unfounded allegations, he claimed Green Bay's use of drop boxes for absentee oballots was illegal, and his lawsuit targeted grant funding the city received from the Center for Tech and Civic Life to help run the election.

1. That cheapskate never pays his bills.

Lying, cheating, raping, hurting, stealing, profiteering, more lying and bragging is all he is. There is zero, zip, zilch honor, respect, fairplay, intelligence, discernment, patriotism, caring or concern in his entire rubbery flubbery ugly self.
