The City of Tucson City Manager's Office confirmed this payment, stating that the campaign had paid a deposit for estimated costs of $145,222.70 to utilize the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall at the venue.

The decision to require the campaign to pay the full costs of public safety response stems from a policy implemented by the City of Tucson after the 2016 campaign visits of then-candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. The policy shift aims to alleviate the burden on taxpayers by ensuring that campaign events cover the expenses associated with public safety measures.

"In accordance with City of Tucson policy, we now require users at the TCC to pay all costs associated with public safety response, so that taxpayers do not have to shoulder these expenses," the City Manager's Office stated in a response to Business Insider.

The substantial deposit paid by the Trump campaign highlights the financial commitments required to organize large-scale rallies at public venues. With the deposit submitted, the campaign has fulfilled a key requirement for hosting their upcoming rally at the Tucson Convention Center's Linda Ronstadt Music Hall.

As the rally approaches, supporters of the Trump campaign eagerly anticipate the event, while local officials in Tucson remain confident in their ability to ensure a safe and orderly gathering. The event will undoubtedly attract a significant crowd, as the campaign continues to draw enthusiastic crowds across the country.

With the deposit payment finalized, all eyes are now on the Trump campaign as they gear up for their rally at the Tucson Convention Center. The payment serves as a reminder of the financial responsibilities involved when utilizing public venues for political events, aiming to shift the burden away from taxpayers and onto the organizers themselves.
