The former Judicial Watch chairman was sued this week by his former pollster for $60,000 in unpaid bills.
The Arlington, Va., polling company of Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates, Inc., claimed in a lawsuit filed in Florida Circuit Court that it conducted a poll of 800 GOP primary voters in September and had never been paid.
Klayman told the AP that his Senate campaign was overcharged for the poll.
"Among other issues Klayman for Senate disputes the amount. This is in part a commercial dispute," Klayman told the wire service, adding it "in no way affects our Senate race."
But the Herald said other contractors and supporters of the Klayman for Senate campaign may have to take legal action to get their bills paid.
According to Klayman's Federal Election Commission filing in April, he is disputing $211,690 in services his campaign was billed by seven firms.
The paper reported those candidate Klayman may be wrangling with include:
• Roger Stone, who is reportedly owed $83,000 by the campaign. Stone had served as consultant to the campaign.
• Former campaign spokesman Mike Caputo who says Klayman has not paid him $5,000 he owes for moving expenses. "I'm a single father and I moved down here after getting wiped out by the economy, and he just stiffed me,'' said Caputo. Caputo had moved from Dallas to work with Klayman.
• The former landlord for Klayman's Miami campaign headquarters, Daniel Dominguez. Dominguez told the Herald Klayman is "behind on the rent he owes, but has started paying it back." Dominquez was apparently not aware the Klayman had disputed the rent in his FEC filing. Dominques is also angry that Klayman's cats "left behind cat residue in the second-story quarters." ''He didn't like what I told him: He was going nowhere fast. He was probably going to be dead last,'' said pollster Fabrizio.
''He strung me along, and promised to pay me but never did,'' Fabrizio said. ``And when I demanded my money, he threatened to sue me.''
Former? 'Scuse me for being behind, but what happened?
Klayman is a cat person?
Deadbeat
I guess he isn't the chairman anymore. I have no idea
Over the last 7 years or so JW took in something like 75+ million. Wonder what they did with all the $$???
Maybe they could pay this guy off with a few cases of Judicial Watch watches and a few Judicial Watch "police badges"?
Didn't he sue his own mother once?
I think so. Please someone ping me when his mom joins the bandwagon and sues him back.
Badges badges badges badges badges badges SNAKE
Twice. Once for the birth, once for something else.
I'd appreciate your opinion of this.
He lost that case too.
I don't know. Polling 800 people for $60.000 seems a bit overblown to me.
Roger Stone will only spend the money on another bad toupe.
I'd appreciate your opinion of this.
> Polling 800 people for $60.000 seems a bit overblown to me.
My thought, precisely. $75/phone call?!?
Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates, Inc. seem WAY overpriced.
