SC, yes, he agreed to pay the bill. However, he still had to make a nasty remark. He said that he was sure that the treasurer immediately ran to the bank to deposit the payment so that it could be added to the state police's budget surplus.

Edit: While he wrote the check, he also refused to apologize and insisted that there was nothing inappropriate about what he had done. He said that he was writing the check to make people happy. An Assemblywoman questioned his parenting skills, saying that there was no need for him to make the entrance and exit that he did (they had to stop the game to allow his helicopter to take off again when he left after the 5th inning), and when asked about her remarks, he said she should be embarrassed and called her a jerk.

I guess he still hasn't taken that Dale Carnegie class.
