MSN News reports that Southern California Beach town, Newport Beach wants the Obama Campaign to pay for the added security measures the town provided for the presidential visit.
City manager Dave Kift says that since the presidential visit was not official government business, but a gathering to rally support for the upcoming election, that it’s unfair to ask tax payers to foot the bill. The town sent the Obama Campaign a notice to pay $35,000. The payment of the receipt is due to June 9, 2012.
Obama’s Campaign Headquarters in Chicago, IL have yet to respond.
