With former President Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to Erie, some are wondering about unpaid bills from his previous rallies.

City of Erie Mayor Joe Schember is seeking reimbursement from the former president.

In 2018, Trump held a campaign rally at the Erie Insurance Arena and still owes the city thousands of dollars following that visit.

That event drew more than 10,000 visitors to the arena, which resulted in the closure of several downtown streets. Mayor Schember said he plans to hold the former president accountable.

The Donald Trump rally will be held at the Erie Insurance Arena on Saturday, July 29, at 6 p.m.

MEANWHILE, no Democrat plans to hold Joe Bribe-'Em or his greasy wh*re-mongering son accountable for ANYTHING...

So trump sends a check to pay his bills. No big deal. He’s responsible enough to know he needs to pay it. Media is making a big thing.

Erie should be happy he’s visiting, what with the increased business activity and municipal tax receipts.

Do leftist candidates get a bill for their rallies, or just Americans?

What is the party affiliation of this mayor and what has he done to try to collect on the supposed debt — just sent one bill. Also, is what the mayor claims as owed in a contract or just things the mayor wants paid for. This article leaves too much to question with no answers and sounds like more of a petty hit piece rather than a real issue.

Probably a bill for this event, that will be paid, but MSM wants to paint Trump as a deadbeat

Meanwhile Hunter skates on not paying taxes, so he’s the real deadbeat...

So ... what happened to all the millions of dollars collected through WinRed over the past decade? Why haven't these bills been paid?

"Media is making a big thing."

There is obviously nothing else important going on in the world, that all the media has to focus on is Trump, and gullible people eat it right up.

Chances are the city is billing President Trump for things unrelated to the rally.

Erie happily accepts the increased revenue that a Trump rally brings but, being Erie, wants it on the cheap.

Are they valid invoices? I’ll bet they are sticky fingered characters trying to cash on on the president’s visit.

No big deal.

If the story is accurate, the bill is five years delinquent. Not good.
