Milwaukee Contemplates Billing Campaigns

MILWAUKEE -- City officials are considering billing the campaigns of President Bush and Sen. John Kerry for more than $200,000 to cover police department costs for visits by the candidates, their running mates and spouses.

The proposal endorsed Thursday by a Common Council committee goes before the full city council for a vote Nov. 23.

"We're not talking about Abe Lincoln stepping off a train and giving a stump speech and heading out of town," said Alderman Bob Donovan, sponsor of the measure. "These are huge, huge extravaganzas."
