Remember when Spitzer 2010 sounded so imminent?
Well, according to the New York Observer, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s campaign will be returning money to donors who request a refund.
The email to donors from campaign spokeswoman Allyson Giard reads:
“As you are likely aware, we are currently disbanding Spitzer 2010. We intend to re-distribute the campaign’s remaining funds on a pro-rata basis to contributors who make an official request for a refund, either by email or letter.
“To expedite this process, we have set a deadline of June 15; in order to be honored, a refund request must be received by the campaign office by close of business on that date. After June 15, we will determine the rate at which we are able to issue contribution refunds and will begin issuing checks. (We willnot be able to honor any requests received after June 15.)…
This has obviously been a difficult period for everyone, particularlyfor those individuals who were supportive of the campaign, and I want to personally express my appreciation for your patience andunderstanding during this time. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything I can do to be of assistance to you.”
