Clinton campaign owes Indiana University $55K

As an alumna and grad student that has to pay very high tuition, I find Hillary's disdain for paying her bills (some dating back to New Hampshire) to be another red flag of how she will manage the nation's resources were she to get to the White House.

Obama pays his bills!

Clinton campaign owes IU $55K

Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign owes IU nearly $55,000 from an April visit.

A Chelsea Clinton appearance at IU has yet to be paid for.

Indianapolis - Indiana University says it may have to tap into reserve funds to cover a campaign visit by Hillary Clinton.

The New York senator and Democratic presidential candidate owes IU $55,000 from a stop at Assembly Hall. Her opponent, Senator Barack Obama, held a similar rally there, but his campaign paid up their nearly $100,000 bill.

The bills started to add up when the candidate's daughter Chelsea appeared on her mother's behalf at the Indiana University auditorium at a cost of $3,000. That was followed by two more events.

"The total for all three events was $55,000 and we have not been paid yet," said IU spokesman Larry MacIntyre.

The other two events were held in Assembly Hall, a much larger - and more expensive - venue to entice voters.

Not cool, and it really reflects poorly on the campaign. And IU isn't the only school to go unpaid.

This is sad and ridiculous. They need to give IU their money and all of the other universities and park districts and public school districts.

Still owes University of TX @ Brownsville from her campaign time prior to the TX primary! But Mark Penn got his $3 mil for the month!

Add the Hillary is a deadbeat to the other adjectives that describe her and her losing campaign!

What's an extra $47,000 (adding up what she owes the schools)?? Pay the damn bill, save yourself the embarrassment you will suffer from later.

I don't want her as VP when she can't even pay back a college.
