18774694322. We're gonna get a representative Jeff Perry in just a moment he's stadium. They even so long for -- crucially there are running against -- sell hot or whoever the democratic nominee isn't that congressional district.
But we just heard from tool the people who aura so -- Meade host for. Al alleging that they haven't been paid. Jeffrey fudged the web designer from Rhode Island new claims geo is old twenty. 2045. Dollars and -- quarter. The the former spokesman for the campaign who was suing for 7500 dollars and they were listening and they just want to call an end. And comment. First of all like Kevin you you first are you -- to what are what did you think of what Christie said.
I'm beginning to wonder if there's kind of a detachment with reality going on here I mean it I think he did a good interview you asked him some legitimate questions I I don't know what the frank Phillips 600000 dollar -- has to do without the mass turnpike authority and Christie's glorious that travails there I mean this just a lot of people that are owed money. Just to correct the record we're not involve the litigation right now what we did was file a complaint with OC PFR and it's very disappointing when someone who you worked hard. And who you admired. Disappointing the money is -- we have not been paid. Just as Rick Wolff and hasn't been paid 34000 dollars. I'm the last time I ever heard from -- my post was -- email them holding in my hand right now. Dated November 2 and it does Kevin you've made the date they would you would about a big and heartfelt thank you. And it gets seven more emails that are like -- opponent tanner. With full satisfaction of services but Christie has stepped up and I think that that if someone can't manage their own fiscal house. I do not think they will be able to menace the state house.
And that now what Jeff sludge she's the web designer from Rhode Island Jeff now you you what you have some emails I guess that you received you you were supposedly in trapped in leaking some information to the press is that right -- I read that correctly.
How we get. -- that but yeah. -- they alleges that -- quietly information from the campaign even though. I hadn't worked for the campaign and in -- I'm just trying to get you know reimbursed or. Or it invoice that it triggered the month that November so you know where we're coming up on the first that. They're very double 38 has it this morning.
So you're saying you're -- though you wish to be referred to his deep throat you're saying in fact you did not leak any information to --
I did not seek any information to the press even though it was a clever trap they get that or. I think that they can't make -- ever. It's set -- in -- the only thing missing from from print it email what she. Announced but I had been trapped was it it just begun that pop. And you know that what I would've been able to answer. Is spoiled yet you know I mean it. It it's it's just crazy -- I others they weren't coming from you know I've provided services. -- like as a -- and I have nothing but you know should precede that indicate that he's happy with the work I did. I've never been fired as far as I know I -- that there yet but wanna get any -- is that it Morse is gonna pick the web site over. I had no problem with that is admit they're pretty in the beginning I was always -- the displeasure. And and you know do the best work I -- as long -- they needed Internet that went at this bigot you've done and I was ready to let my business so. But back but he well well settled last simply they're --
Okay what happens next star Kevin -- with a bow to you guys are your shoe prints or speak for Jeff you're in the same boat.
Well you know dejected remarkable job in the campaign I did everybody who worked on the campaign from day one lieutenant Calley who was -- campaign manager over the summer months. You know everybody worked hard. Lou told me that you don't vote 15000 dollars by Christy -- is old money so Alou told me verbatim face to face that you -- 15000. I mean that they get because I mean I don't think frank Phillips made up that Noonan is owed 600 grand. And when you ask you know it's just it's it's remarkable I mean things to meet that. The real issue here is that the caucuses are taking place now and I think there comes a point in time where somebody needs to really reassess whether or not they have any chance whatsoever being elected.
Judge Kevin Jeff we got to move on we gotta talk to Jeff Perry but I appreciate both -- calling -- Doug good luck with by getting your money okay.
