Minneapolis’ Mayor Jacob Frey is trying to charge President Trump over half a million dollars for security at a rally he has planned in the city later on this week.
However, in 2009, Obama was only charged $20K by the city for a rally at the same exact venue Trump’s rally is to be held at!
From the Twin Cities Pioneer Press back in 2009, regarding the Obama Rally:
Hitting many of the themes from his address earlier this week, Obama stressed the need for affordable, portable health care. He also stressed the need for a public option.Â
Before the 12:30 p.m. rally, lines snaked for several blocks through Minneapolis’ Warehouse District. Some camped overnight.Â
Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan said officers made no arrests by midday, despite protesters on both sides of the health care issue.
Dolan called in 50 officers on overtime and turned to neighboring police agencies and sheriff’s department to handle security for the event. He said he expects the department’s costs to top $20,000.
Did we have inflation from $20,000 to $500,000 in just 10 years? Â I don’t think so!
