Trumps campaign was willing to pay their bills to the local department. Sanders paid for everything upfront. So why hasn't Clintons campaign bothered paying their bills yet?
The most hilarious thing is the first paragraph - Her campaign tried smearing the Des Moines department saying that they never bothered sending a invoice for payment, so they never actually 'knew' what they owed. But, well... turns out the department had a copy of the invoice that was sent to her campaign last year, so... whoops?.
Iowa police departments frustrated at Clinton Campaigns unpaid bills
MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa -- The Clinton campaign says as soon as they receive an invoice, they'll pay the Des Moines Police Department for the services they provided at the Katy Perry concert last October. City Hall provided us a copy of the invoice that has already been sent. The invoice is dated November 19, 2015. The bill is nearly $1,800.
The Marshalltown Police Department is dealing with the same problem. We have requested reimbursement from the Clinton campaign. We haven`t received that payment yet, said Marshalltown Police Chief Michael Tupper.
Former President Bill Clinton was in Marshalltown on January 15, and he requested and received security assistance from the police. The Marshalltown Police Department has not been paid for the services they provided that day.
...Donald Trump also held an event in Marshalltown on the same day as Hillary Clinton. The cost of those services provided by Marshalltown police was about $3,600. Tupper says Trumps check arrived today. In my 23 year career, the Trump campaign actually paying this large bill is the first time that`s happened to me in my career, said Tupper. Ive been doing this job for 23 years and quite honestly the Trump campaign actually reimbursing for these kinds of expenses is the first time thats ever happened to me in my entire career, with one exception. Tupper says the one exception is Bernie Sanders, who also had an event in Marshalltown in January and made arrangements to pay up front.
