My Local Paper Headlines Cost of Bush Trip Here

[heidiho]

The lead story in my local paper last night was the cost of Bush's trip to this area a few weeks ago to give a lame speech on the economy. If all local taxpayers were told these costs, I think more people would oppose him coming to their town. This total didn't include the costs of the 2 cargo jets that brought in his limos, etc.

Presidential trip runs at least $373,600 tab

Local taxpayers foot $35,500 of Appleton visit



APPLETON — President Bush’s trip here March 30 cost a minimum of nearly $400,000, almost all of which was footed by taxpayers
