Taxpayers on the hook for Romney rally costs (2012 Flashback/Romney confronted today)
Canton Rep ^ | 11/29/12 | Robert Wang

NORTH CANTON The campaign of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has declined to reimburse the city and Stark County about $14,500 that local officials say they incurred to provide security, firefighter coverage and other services for Romney’s Oct. 26 rally at Hoover High School.

With the U.S. Secret Service saying it does not cover such costs, it appears that local taxpayers are on the hook for much of that amount.

The campaign is also declining to pay the more than $600 in police and fire overtime costs North Canton said it incurred for Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan’s appearance at Walsh University on Aug. 16.

“I’m disappointed they’re not paying it,” said Mayor David Held. “We hoped they would be operating in good faith, but we made it clear they would be charged for the services.”

Romney may be related to the deadbeat Kennedys. Must be something in the water in MA that causes a sense of entitlement.

No wonder Mittens lost OH.

He was too cheap to bear the costs of holding his own rallies in the state.

I'm no Romney fan girl, but I will say he is entitled to the security detail back in October 2012 for exactly the same reason that Jesse Jackson was entitled to it back in 1988:

That's part of the price to society of allowing the leftist yahoo element to run at large.
