Deadbeat Romney campaign continues to stiff locals for appearances.

In an article from my local newspaper: http://www.theledger.com/article/20121103/NEWS/121109751/1338/news00?Title=City-Wants-Funds-for-Rally-s-Security-

... I have read with interest of a pattern lately of the Romney handlers refusing to reimburse local authorities on other occasions for the expense incurred with Romney's speaking engagements in their community. This article appeared in my local newsrag this morning pertaining to a gig Romney had here back in August during the Tampa convention. These thieves and liars remain consistent in their words and deeds.

Romney campaign Chief Financial Officer Bradley Crate responded to airport officials Oct. 24 saying the campaign doesn't plan to cover the costs.

IOW ... go fug yerselves, let the taxpayers pay for it.

Where Romney had a rally at the football field. Crowd did tens of thousands dollar damages. Tore up sod, tore down goal posts, and ripped up metal bleacher seats. They haven't been paid yet.

Yes, there is clearly a pattern here. They don't want to honor the debts they rack up. Typical rethuglicans.

It gets real when people start losing money.
I hope they carry this anger with them all the way to the ballot box.

And in local communities word spreads fast.
Romney's too rich to avoid paying people & badmouth will get around.
