Summary

Albuquerque officials say Trump now owes the city $444,986 over five years.

Trump’s campaign has left numerous cities with hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid bills for public safety costs incurred during his rallies. Some cities have hired law firms to collect the debts, while others have required campaigns to pay estimated costs in advance. Despite Trump’s support for law enforcement, his campaign has consistently failed to reimburse local governments for the expenses they incur.

      Is it common? This article is clear but is one case. The fact, as the article shares, that the Biden campaign quickly paid the bill further brings to question the “common” stance - in that they paid when they became aware. Maybe the mayoral staff over the last 8 years just aren’t that good at getting their bills paid.

          “Readers should be aware that while there is still a lot of relevant information to be found, not all fact briefs produced by Gigafact Foundry reflect Gigafact’s current methods and standards for fact briefs.”

          I think that one comes under the category of superficially balanced by criticising both parties, and technically correct, but out of date in terms of remaining debt and wildly, grossly misleading in terms of the picture it paints.
