Landlord: Clinton staff stiffed me on rent

PORTSMOUTH — Rochester physician Terry Bennett said he rented a city building to people who worked for Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign — and skipped town without paying the bill.

Making matters worse, Bennett said, the 3,000-square-foot building at 236 Union St. was left trashed. Campaign signs were left lying all over the place, he said.

"It's a very nice little building, with an 1,800-foot warehouse and the rest can be offices," Bennett said. "There's a full kitchen and bath. They used it as a campaign center and dormitory. I expected them to hand the Realtor a check as they left. They did not."

Bennett said he wanted to be fair. The tenants contacted him and said they wanted the building for five days before the New Hampshire primary, which was held Jan. 8.

Realtor Michael Whitney said arrangements for the rental were made by Emily Walsh, who, Whitney said, corresponded with him from a Clinton campaign e-mail address. A New Hampshire woman named Emily Walsh has a blog written on Clinton's campaign Web site. She is listed on the Web site as a resident of Manchester. An Emily Walsh from Manchester has also been named a 1st Congressional District delegate for the Democratic National Convention to be held in Denver, Colo.

The rent charged was $100 a day, for a total of $500.

Whitney, with the firm of Keller Williams Coastal Realty, confirmed the building was not left in good condition.

“We had to pick up after them,” he said.

Whitney said he has been trying to collect rent for four weeks.

“I sent about 20 e-mails,” said Whitney. “I hear the Clinton campaign is out of money. Maybe the woman got laid off. I called, but they will not return any of my calls.”

This guy better watch out. They’ll take him for a stroll through Ft. Marcy Park, and he’ll go from Landlord to Seeing the Lord.

I apologize but I had to smile at your reply. Here in this small dust-blown west Texas town I am now trying to sell said commercial property for less than what it was purchased for in the 1980s. I guess what I am saying is that I am estatic that I have renters at all. Most of the folks here are still living in the 1960s, or in Mexico, and I have actually been cursed when I've asked low market value for a vehicle I've had for sale.

Some say we should go to Mars. I say no as I already have property there.

I’d say the landlord got pimped.

I’d say if this guy was so clueless that he didn’t know the history of the Clintons, he deserves what he gets.
Maybe he can hire John Edwards to sue them.

Dear Dr. Bennett,

I'm sorry you weren't paying attention from 1993 to 2001. Sorry, can't help you. Live and learn. Consider it as "taking from you to help the less fortunate." You're all for that, right? Aren't you?

There were probably mattresses on the floor so that Chelsea could do her pimp’s work. BTW, any pimp with Chelsea in his stable would be on welfare.

Get over it Terry Bennett.

Hey they didn’t steal the cutlery and furnishings when they left, did they?

You got off light!
