Donald Trump's unpaid bill remains since 2019 campaign shutdown

There was some drama ahead of former President Donald Trump's rally Thursday.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. There was drama ahead of former President Donald Trump's rally Thursday.

First, the city of Albuquerque blocked use of the convention center, citing pending repairs. Expo New Mexico would have given the same response to the campaign.

After choosing the airport site, the state land office did not allow parking on leased public land outside the Isleta Amphitheater.

Thursday morning, people parked nearby, but they weren't too happy about it.

This situation that they have created with parking is unbearable, and I hold the city leadership, the administration, the state administration responsible for the crisis that they are creating with this parking nightmare, said Tom Laiche, a Trump supporter.

As KOB 4 told you earlier this week, Mayor Tim Kellers' office says Trump still owes Albuquerque nearly half a million dollars.

Despite other visits by high-level leaders to our city over the years, Investigator 4 Brittany Costello says such bills are rare.

Keller's office says the city has billed campaigns in the past. But the example they gave us was $1,000, not half a million. Trump's bill began growing with interest after a stop in Rio Rancho in 2019.

The city of Albuquerque provided security for his stay at a downtown Albuquerque hotel.

Keller says the city paid to close the streets and close city hall, $7,000 for the barricades, $133,000 for city employees and $71,000 for the police department.

The mayor's spokeswoman told us the city has held campaigns in the past that required additional time and equipment, citing President Biden's campaign rally at a Westside community center. The city says it charged a Democratic committee $1,000 for it.

Former Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez told us Thursday that in his day, the city's policy was to charge for the use of municipal facilities, but never for police protection, as Keller did.

As I recall, Chavez could only think of one pending bill for presidential candidate George W. Bush. The city was unable to locate this unpaid bill for Bush. We'll let you know if we get it.

The city is not charging former Trump for Thursday's visit.

Twenty years ago, Las Cruces settled with the Air Force after cargo planes part of a presidential visit caused an estimated $2 million in damage to the airport's runway. the city.
