A Portsmouth, N.H., landlord says he finally received his check for $500 for a five-day stay by volunteers for Hillary Clinton's campaign in January.

But the ordeal -- which included leaving his warehouse property trashed with campaign signs --  left him sore, so he's donating the cash to Barack Obama's campaign.

"It was the last straw for Hillary Clinton for me," Terry Bennett told the Portsmouth Herald.

Bennett's missing reimbursement wasn't the only one, the Herald found. An Iowa businessman told the paper he's owed more than $7,000 by the campaign.

The campaign -- which recently revealed it was strapped for cash in January but has since made  fundraising strides -- told the paper all money owed will be paid, but there have been a few "isolated delays," and the New Hampshire campaign director said she regretted the condition in which Bennett's property was left.
