DNC refuses to reimburse town for thousands of dollars of overtime costs during Obama visit | Fox News

It's sad that this happened in my state and the town 5 minutes south of where I live. Yet again, obama campaigning and costing the tax payers money. They closed down sherwood Island so Obama can land his helicopter there. I proposed to m fiance there. There is a 9/11 memorial there which I always stop by when I am there. Did the president visit that site, NOPE!!

Didn't the same thread come up a couple of weeks ago, all it points to is the need for campaign reform..

Is the RNC reimbursing for all the OT that Romney costs???

Yes the Romney Campaign does reimburse cities.

Quote:

This isn't the first time local officials have gotten in a dispute over payments for security costs to accommodate presidential candidates. The city of Newport Beach, Calif., for months has been trying to get the Obama campaign to pay $35,000 in security costs for a fundraiser earlier this year. According to the Los Angeles Times, though, the Romney campaign did reimburse the city for security costs at a Republican fundraiser.

This would make sense, except Job Corps is not an Obama specific program.. it has been around since the late 60's...

Quote:

Spending reports under the federal Recovery Act show $495,000 paid to McNeely Pigott & Fox Public Relations LLC, which the Labor Department hired to raise awareness “among employers and influencers about the [Job Corps] program’s existing and new training initiatives in high growth and environmentally friendly career areas” as well as spreading the word to prospective Job Corps enrollees.

Well Darryl, has there been any articles anywhere or news agencies stating that Romney hasn't reimbursed towns and cities he fundraised in?
