Fiorina Withheld Final Paycheck From Widow Of Worker Who Died

Famed California pollster Joe Shumate was found dead in his home one month before Election Day 2010, surrounded by sheets of polling data he labored over for the flailing Senate bid of Carly Fiorina.
Upon his death, Fiorina praised Shumate as "the heart and soul" of her team. She issued a news release praising him as a person who believed in "investing in those he worked with" and offering her "sincerest condolences" to his widow.
But records show there was something that Fiorina did not offer his widow: Shumate's last paycheck, for at least $30,000. It was one of more than 30 invoices, totaling about $500,000, that the multimil­lionaire didn't settle - even as Fiorina reimbursed herself nearly $1.3 million she lent the campaign. She finally cleared most of the balance in January, a few months before announcing her run for president.
"Occasionally, I'd call and tell her she should pay them," said Martin Wilson, Fiorina's former campaign manager, who found Shumate after the pollster collapsed from a heart attack. "She just wouldn't."
not a republican politician well she deserves an OSCAR for her portrayal of the worst of them and surly would follow the tenets of denial to Americans in need, keep the tradition alive!!!
