Bachmann Hasn't Paid Staffers

Posted by rcade at 03:03 PM

Over a year after she dropped out, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has refused to pay five staffers from her failed presidential bid, according to a former top campaign official.

Peter Waldron, her former national field coordinator, told Salon the dispute started when former Iowa straw poll staffers refused to sign a nondisclosure agreement that would bar them from discussing any "unethical, immoral, or criminal activity" they witnessed on the campaign with police or reporters.

Waldron said the nondisclosure agreement stems from the campaign's alleged misuse of an email list. A home-schooling group accused the Bachmann campaign of stealing the list, which was contained on a volunteer's laptop, and then using it to fund raise for the campaign. Police have spoken to Waldron about the incident "several times," he said.
