...Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam announced last month....
national media is treating his presidential bid seriously — Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight says it's "keeping an eye" on him, and last week, CBS News invited him to an on-air interview.
According to a recently departed staffer, however, the campaign is in chaos behind the scenes. The staffer, whose credentials were verified by New Times but who declined to be named, says Messam's team didn't receive paychecks Monday. As a result, multiple campaign employees resigned this week, according to the source.
Screenshots of an email detailing the meltdown were sent to New Times Thursday. With the subject line "Notification of hold on paychecks," the message apologizes for the failure to pay, a problem attributed to Messam's wife, Angela. The email, which was forwarded to the entire campaign team Monday night, appears to have come from someone in charge of payroll.

Have not seen this AT ALL on Miami or West Palm tv “news”.
Also from the article:
the Sun-Sentinel wrote glowingly about how Messam had hired an all-star team, including several with experience working for Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, and Andrew Gillum. Since then, it appears many have scrubbed their social media profiles of any reference to Messam
Regretfully, I think it is only fair to inform you that Angela Messam, wife of Wayne Messam, has consolidated all of the financial and banking assets of the campaign under her exclusive control and is currently refusing to issue paychecks to staff,” the email states.

Well, I’ve seen this story played out before. I wonder how the mayor’s city finances are faring.
Rat campaign staff should work for free, service to American "Democracy" is payment enough.
wow! this looks amazingly like actual reporting with actual digging for information ...
That’s what happens when you can’t raise enough money. Then again, maybe the campaign was basically a cash grab, a GoFundme to rustle up money from gullible Democratic donors, rather than a genuine run for the Presidency.
I’ve seen Message interviewed, and I think he’s mentally challenged. Maybe that, combined with his being black, provides intersectional advantage in today’s politics. But, it shouldn’t.
