Good Grief. Obama Finally Pays Off NV School for Campaign Event – 4 Years After Rally
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, July 13, 2012, 5:53 AM
Team Obama finally finally got around to paying its debt to the Clark County School District this month… Four years after the campaign rally in Las Vegas.
The Nevada Journal reported:
While President Obama’s fundraising woes are making national headlines, is his Obama for America campaign looking to cut costs by shortchanging school districts and municipalities for the cost of his events?
As the President crisscrosses the country in his bid for re-election, holding campaign rallies and fundraisers in towns and cities across America, local governments keep attempting — and failing — to get his campaign to pay its event-related expenses.
In Las Vegas, however, taxpayers — who for nearly four years had been on the hook for about $25,000 — finally received some reimbursement late last month.
It was — coincidentally enough — on the very day that the Clark County School District finally released to Nevada Journal district invoices and other public records for the Obama campaign’s 2008 use of district facilities.
When now-President Obama was merely candidate Obama, Nevada was a swing-vote state and a political battleground. Candidate Obama flew in and out of Las Vegas often, holding political rallies at local high schools — and leaving unpaid expenses behind.
Now, all around the country, something quite similar is going on.
In Durham, N.H., town leaders recently scheduled a special public meeting to discuss the campaign’s refusal to reimburse campaign-related police and fire services.

Running te campaign as he runs the country – huge bills left unpaid. And he says Romney doesn’t understand the economy?

There’s another story bubbling along in California, about the cities and school districts that have been running surpluses through careful management of their funds. Yes. Even in California.

They’re lucky… there’s no way all of the rest debt Obama has racked up will get paid off within 4 years.

IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF YOU
What a pleasure it was to meet Dinesh D’Souza and see his new film, 2016: Obama’s America. It premiered in Houston, Texas last night at the Edwards Marquee Stadium Theater.
The film is based on D’Souza’s New York Times Bestseller, The Roots of Obama’s Rage; and answers the question that no one has so far been able to adequately answer: Why is Obama doing what he’s doing, and how does he intend to accomplish his demolition/rebuilding of the Country we know?
We stood in a long line for a long time; but it didn’t take long for the theater to be packed with people who had been invited from all over Texas and beyond – not one empty seat when the lights dimmed. Yet, there was complete silence throughout the showing — Astounding.
If you do anything before election-day November 6th, see this film; take your friends.
If you don’t do anything at all and Obama is re-elected, you won’t know why and how the demise of America happened.

From the article:
“In Las Vegas, however, taxpayers — who for nearly four years had been on the hook for about $25,000 — finally received some reimbursement late last month.
It was — coincidentally enough — on the very day that the Clark County School District finally released to Nevada Journal district invoices and other public records for the Obama campaign’s 2008 use of district facilities.”

i’m sure there is more to the story, but this makes sense. Do YOU ever pay a bill without knowing how much it cost? Yup, they “finally” release an invoice and they get paid.
Daisy commented:
Bloy, Obama paid the bill on the day the invoice was released to the PRESS. The Obama campaign has had the bill for four years.
Do YOU wait until the press reports on your bad credit before paying your bills?
