National City Sues Bernie Sanders for Unpaid Bill

https://www.californiacitynews.org/2017/08/national-city-sues-bernie-sanders-unpaid-bill.html

Bernie Sanders still hasn't coughed up the cash he owes National City for an event held last year in Kimball Park. Now he's getting sued.

"Despite Sanders' campaign rhetoric of a changed system, the Vermont Senator has not paid National City $28,337.28 for the May rally that took place weeks before California held its primary and just before Hillary Clinton secured the Democratic nomination.

Now, National City is officially taking the 75-year-old former presidential candidate to court to recoup about $31,000 from him. The cost includes the $28, 337.28 owed to them plus about $3,000 in penalties."

Multiple cities in California. Lots can be inferred from that. R B Garr Sep 2017 #9

a lot of money, several million. That is certainly more than the Secret Service has right now.

And you're extolling the Sanders campaign for itemizing the bills they're being sued for not paying?

$400k versus $25k?

Seems like Sanders is the only one being sued. Have you details about Clinton not paying the $25k her campaign owed?

California went for Hillary. It's strange he talks about grass roots, but leaves those small cities holding the bag. Not nice.
