You could be right - I think 2,500 may have been the number of liens filed. NPR did a thing about it with an interview of a guy that got stiffed for multiple grand pianos at Trump's casino.
He still owes the City of Spokane for crowd and traffic control.
Do they have a contract stating they would get payment?
I wonder how many dollars the Trump supporters brought to Spokane? Sure hope EWU is paying the police when they go to your games and assist with traffic control.
Dickson said the city sent bills to the Hillary Clinton campaign after former President Bill Clinton visited Spokane. A bill was also sent to the Bernie Sanders campaign when he visited in 2016. Neither campaign paid up.
In fact, the city has sent invoices to campaigns numerous times over the years and has never received payment. As of this writing, the city was only able to confirm that bills had been sent to the Clinton and Sanders campaign; the exact dollar amount was not readily available.
Sergeant Terry Preuninger with the Spokane Police Department said the process goes the same with every campaign that stops by; the city sends a bill for security costs, the campaign doesn’t pay, then the city leaves it alone. Per routine, Dickson said the city has no plans to pursue payment for the bills
