So what's the beef about? $50,000 in unpaid consulting fees.
What's really interesting is that Mr. Cassidy's lawyer and his campaign treasurer are on two different pages about this lawsuit, according to this article in the Advocate by Sarah Chacko:
When asked for a response from Cassidy about the lawsuit, press secretary Wes Climer said the congressman deferred comment to his attorney, Leo Hamilton.
"We find the suit baseless," Hamilton said.
However, Cassidy's campaign committee is setting aside contributions for a potential settlement.
"It is anticipated that the lawsuit will be settled with an amount owed to the media advisor well in excess of any amounts that have been received as campaign contributions after the general election," according to a letter from Cassidy's campaign treasurer, Ralph Stephens, to the Federal Elections Commission.
So, which is it? Is the Congressman confident of victory, or is he preparing to fork over more than $50,000 to the maker of one of the Ten Worst Ads of last year's election cycle?
