One of the nation's richest enclaves is seeking government assistance to help protect its most famous resident as his security costs have shot up to $93,000 a day.Palm Beach County has asked the federal government to help cover security for Donald Trump, who lives at the private Mar-a-Lago resort and was apparently targeted for a second assassination attempt Sunday at a golf course nearby, reported Bloomberg.“We’ve had to heighten security ever since the campaign started with the former president, who is our resident here,” said Palm Beach County mayor Maria Sachs. “Yes, it’s disruptive and difficult, but it’s the price we pay to live in paradise.”The county has an $8 billion annual budget, but Sachs and county sheriff Ric Bradshaw sent a letter last week to congressional representatives asking for additional money to protect the Republican nominee, saying that cost $2.8 million of estimated overtime for a 30-day period for officers involved with his security.ALSO READ: Notorious conspiracy theorist rolled out by RNC to train election overseers in MichiganThe letter also listed an estimated $42,720 cost to the local fire rescue department during motorcades and other times, as well as $3,600 a day spent by the city of Palm Beach.The U.S. Secret Service and other federal agencies often mobilize personnel from local law enforcement and other sources when Trump and others under their protection are on the move, and those measures could be seen Monday in Palm Beach, where officers blocked off key streets around Mar-a-Lago.The blockades often frustrate many residents, who have expressed concerns that a second Trump presidency could lead to additional restrictions when he is visiting, and the mayor even floated the possibility of closing Mar-a-Lago at a recent town council meeting.“We are ready for whatever eventuality occurs,” Sachs said. “The candidates and future president will be safe in Palm Beach County.”
