The Campaign's Unpaid Bills

President Bush left a lot of unpaid bills at hotels and restaurants as he campaigned in southern Oregon last year. All told, the administration's bills add up to nearly $19,000.

The Red Lion Inn is still trying to collect $3,332.72 from the President and his entourage. Hotel accountant Kirsten Yunuba fired off a letter to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave asking:

"My question to you: Is this how you help balance the budget at the White House by ripping off retailers in the towns you visit? If that is the case please do not come back to the Rogue Valley."

Most of the bills are for Secret Service agents traveling with the President. (KPTV)
