When Bennett's story came out, more people contacted the Herald about unpaid bills from the Clinton campaign. Iowa resident Richard Reese is the owner of Top Job Services Inc., a cleaning service in Des Moines. His company was hired in November of last year, prior to the Iowa caucuses, to clean the Clinton campaign headquarters on a regular basis.

Reese provided the Herald with invoices and said he had not seen one penny of the $7,561.70 he is owed. As of Wednesday, he still hadn't.

"I got a call on Sunday from the Clinton campaign, who said they were putting the money in a two-day envelope," said Reese. "Today is Wednesday, and I already got the mail, but there's no check."

Last week, Clinton's New Hampshire spokeswoman, Kathleen Strand, said everyone who provided a service to the campaign will be paid. She called cases like Bennett's and Reese's "isolated delays."

Strand said campaign volunteers make an agreement with a landlord and then the flat payment is agreed upon. She said it takes time to process the invoices and then send out a check.

Strand also said she regrets that the building was not left in the condition in which it was rented.
