Taxpayers Dish Out $54,000 For Mar-a-Lago Party Tents For New Year's Eve
Grimes Events & Party Tents Inc. of Delray Beach, Florida, was paid $54,020 on Dec. 19 by the Secret Service for Tent Rental for MAL, according to spending records revealed by Quartz. The Secret Service often uses tents for security checks and safe spots for VIPs.
The Secret Service also paid $41,000 on Dec. 19 to BSE Performance for Generators and light towers rental for MAL. But it wasnt clear if this expenditure was just for the party.
Last year, the Secret Service spent over $26,000 to rent lights, generators, tables and tents for the New Years party at Mar-a-Lago, according to Newsweek.
Non-members of the resort are paying $1,000 to attend this years party at Mar-a-Lago, and members are paying $650. The fee to join the club jumped from $100,000 to $200,000 after Trump became president.
Quartz reported last month that the Secret Service has spent a total of about $400,000 for golf cart rentals to guard the president as he golfs.
