Obama's Visit Cost Colorado Over $140,000

An article in The Coloradan goes over the costs that President Obama's campaign stop at Colorado State University, on August 28.

After compiling the extra costs that police agencies and the school were hit by, the number comes to over one hundred and forty thousand dollars.

Fort Collins, alone, spent $101,260 for Obama's visit.

CSU spokesman Kyle Henley said that the school expects to be repaid for the costs involved and plans on sending Obama a bill.

The police agencies, however, don't expect to be repaid; and extra costs that they endured will have to come from their normal budget, from taxes.
