This diary is a summary of the financial news from the Clinton campaign. It is my first ever dailykos diary. The best high level summary has been written at Politico: Thanks to her $5 million loan they had $2 million at the end of the February.
The rest can be spent only in the general election, if she makes it that far, and must be returned if she doesn’t. If she had paid off the $8.7 million in unpaid bills she reported as debt and had not loaned her campaign $5 million, she would have been nearly $3 million in the red at the end of February.
As people investigated the records they discovered items like unpaid health insurance and money owed to Sen. Sen. Clinton's home town high school.
The complete record of unpaid bills can be found at the FEC reporting site.
But only now is the worst of this coming to light. Rebekah Walker and Meagan Gardner are also on that list. They are not caterers though and they aren't an event production company. They are Girl Scouts. They are owed $1,325 by the Clinton campaign and they are plenty angry about it.
"We were so excited about this at first", said Rebekah. "We were helping their campaign by selling them our delicious cookies and delivering it to their building. Meagan even sold them 5 boxes of Do-si-dos she had already promised to her uncle. She heard Senator Clinton liked Do-si-does."
Their volunteer advisor, Jill Sweeney, explained that Girl Scout Cookie season was long over and the money was almost 2 months overdue. The girls were trying to stay positive but it was challenging.
Meagan explained, "One of our mottos is: Girl Scouting is all about leadership." We think Senator Clinton should join the Girl Scouts to learn how to better organize her campaign, pay her debts and treat people better."
Meagan's anger transformed into tears and the interview ended.
