I think it is tacky, and obviously politically motivated, for the City to ask for reimbursement. They need to look at the residual effects to them. It is not like he was only their for that candidate. The whole City gets to take pride in him visiting. Like someone in that article said, "It goes with the territory." That is why they have police in the first place.
I guess if I am being assaulted or robbed, I will get a bill for having the police assist me. Or if they write me a speeding ticket, I will have to pay for that service too. Come on!
