Perhaps shoring up her almost-non-existent book sales wasn’t the best use for the funds. My ex-local rag reports:
She has nearly exhausted her leftover funds, has reportedly had lackluster book sales and is being sued by a longtime supporter who claims she’s trying to stiff him out of pay for political consulting and legal research.
