The city of Medina, Wash. says it won’t be paying for President Obama’s Tuesday evening fundraising visit.
According to Medina City Manager Mike Sauerwein, prior presidential visits have cost local residents as much as $35,000 due to security related issues; but not anymore.
“We love welcoming people to what we think is one of the most attractive communities in Puget Sound,” Sauerwein told Komo 4 News. “We just don’t feel that we should be passing the costs of the events to our citizens.”
Sauerwein says the bill will instead be sent to former Costco CEO Jim Sinegal, the host of the President’s $25,000 per plate Democratic fundraiser.

Boycott COSCO... it has a fool communist for a CEO
More reason for me not to shop at Cosco!!
Funny how Chuck Cook and all the Democrat loonies want you to boycott Walmart and Sam's Club.
The city could also decline to schedule overtime and shutdown streets.
