Okay, did the vendors have to sue or go out of business before this happened? It was an issue for a very long while.
“Okay, did the vendors have to sue or go out of business before this happened? It was an issue for a very long while.”
It still seems to be an issue. As I understand it, she has been very active in working to eliminate the debt, at one point even enlisting Obama to help. I’ve seen varying estimates as to what the actual amount was, but double digit millions (at least 30 million} would seem about right. Contrary to what I posted yesterday, which was dated 2009, other articles after that time suggest that the striving for solvency in this matter is still ongoing. I get the feeling that once they got it down to about 2 million, they considered it cleared, but they still have continued the push to settle the whole obligation.
Unless there is some particular restriction against it I would have thought that, considering all of the money Bill takes in from giving speeches and making appearances, this problem would have been a thing of the past by now.
