Grand Rapids isn’t a conservative city government.

So can you explain why they aren't trying to take Trump to court over unpaid fees? Also, why couldn't they could have demanded an upfront payment? Go to the arena and say "he has to pay first or he isn't allowed in"

He may have paid the arena upfront, or they got points on sales. The costs to the city are TBD until after the event. The arena booked him, city couldn't really say no.

I guess they could have tried to get him to hold some money in escrow, like they overcharge your credit card at a hotel to later refund part of it, but I've never heard of this model in this situation.

And take Trump to court? Yeah that's working out great. One woman he raped won and nobody is allowed to say he raped her now. Fantastic record there.
