The police and fire departments in Vice President Pence's hometown in Indiana are nearing the city's limits for overtime pay amid visits from the vice president.
USA Today reported Tuesday that the City Council in Columbus will consider raising the departments' overtime budgets by a combined $70,000 — a roughly 18 percent hike from the initial $390,388 in overtime pay approved for this year.
The ordinance increasing the overtime budget states that it is needed because of "unanticipated overtime events related to vice-presidential visits to our city."
Columbus Mayor James Lienhoop told USA Today that the additional overtime expense is manageable for the city, and that only about half of the additional costs are directly from vice president's visits.
