Oooooooo what a story this is!
KPTVMEDFORD -- It's a distant memory for most of the country, but President Bush's campaign swing through Southern Oregon is fresh for hotel owners still waiting to get paid nearly $19,000 for expenses incurred by the administration last fall.
Three hotels, including the Rogue Regency, the Red Lion and the Jacksonville Inn, report they have been waiting almost six months for bills generated mostly by the U.S. Secret Service during President Bush's whirlwind tour through Jackson County, according to an article by the Mail Tribune newspaper.
Owed $3,332.72, the Red Lion Hotel in Medford sent a letter on March 28 to the president at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
The letter written by the hotel's accountant Kirsten Yunuba Stephens, said: "My question to you: Is this how you help balance the budget at the White House by ripping off retailers in the towns you visit? If that is the case please do not come back to the Rogue Valley."
Ungrateful hotel s. Don't they know they should have felt privileged to have the Kings servants stay in their flea-bag hotels? Just goes to show, when dealing with Republicans, always ask for the money up front.
Oooooooo what a story this is!
I agree. Not much of a story. The GOP has been "not paying" since Bush 43 entered office.
I'd be willing to bet this is a common thing in politics no matter what your party.
dam liberal elitist
hating america again
if they loved america theyd know that you cant expect bills to be paid
User - the deficit joke obviously shot right over your head.
Who are you talking to? Who said anything about liberals? This story is hardly even news worthy. This happens all the time and from nearly every party imaginable.
I guess that was a joke Ex.
if they loved america theyd know that
Uh ok. Whatever you say.
