Charlie Crist's Former Faithful Sue to Get Their Donations Back

Some of the folks who donated money to Charlie Crist the Republican now want Charlie Crist the independent to give it back. And they've filed a lawsuit in Collier County Circuit Court to show they mean business.

The Naples Daily News reported Monday that the plaintiffs are former U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas John Rood and Linda Morton of Naples. Rood donated the maximum, according to the newspaper, $4,800; Morton, $500. But both are looking to move the case to class-action status so other disgruntled donors can join in.

Representing the pair is Rep. Tom Grady, R-Naples. Grady was co-chairman of Crist's Senate campaign but resigned when the candidate switched. He is not running for re-election.

Neither Crist nor his campaign staff replied to our request for comment.
