As a mayoral candidate, Maya Wiley famously said she’s “been black all my life” — but that’s cold comfort to her failed campaign’s unpaid vendors, who are owed nearly $1 million, including a black-owned business that now has to lay off employees.
“This could break my business,” the vendor told The Post, speaking this week on condition of anonymity because he signed a contract with the campaign that bars him from speaking to the media.
“That was revenue I was waiting for to be able to pay my staff. It means I have to make some cutting decisions when it comes to staff,” he said about his five-figure invoice.
The business owner said he’s looking at two to three layoffs.
Wiley owes 28 individuals and companies a combined $999,664.51, including over $500,000 to GPS Impact, a Des Moines, Iowa-based political communications company for ads and fundraising; $40,320 to Bumperactive, an Austin, TX-based company for campaign merchandise; and $211 to the United States Postal Service for postage and a P.O. box rental, according to Campaign Finance Board records.

SUCKER !!!
Any vendor to a political campaign who does not operate on a “cash in advance “ basis is either a fool or a contributor.
I didn’t know that the US Postal Service extended credit for postage.
Exactly - at least 50% up front to cover the costs

I’ll have to try that the next time I need stamps.
Most likely both a fool and a contributor ... either way, he's a SUCKER!
“...he signed a contract with the campaign that bars him from speaking to the media.”
Oh, I’d be talking loud to the media because I’d consider that contract null and void once the grifter failed to pay me...according to our agreement.
Note to business owners everywhere:
Politicians pay in cash and up front.
No exceptions.
Suckers.

She and her husband are millionaires, so typical of the Socialist mindset.....
Plantation owners
Did Hillary EVER pay off all of her vendors from her campaign against Obama????
Such a trustable face.
—”Politicians pay in cash and up front.”
IIRC John Glenn stiffed one of his USMC buddies from Arlington Heights and pushed him into bankruptcy.
