Vendor Sues Clinton Campaign For Not Paying Bill

February 23, 2008

NYT - It was just $2,492.63, a pittance, really, alongside million-dollar television buys and direct mail drops.

From the beginning of the race through the end of last month, Clinton paid the consultants $33 million — nearly one-third of the $105 million spent by the campaign.
