Campaign workers sue Pitts for payment

ATLANTA - Four people who worked on Robb Pitts&#39; mayoral campaign filed a lawsuit Wednesday, saying the ex-Atlanta City Council President owes them $137,000 for their work. <br> <br> Melvin Collins, who headed the get-out-the-vote drive, Mitzi Bickers, Joe Amos and Kimberly Daniels are also asking for $1 million in punitive damages against Pitts, who is now a candidate for Fulton County Commission. <br> <br> The Superior Court suit says that while the campaign accounting records show more than $170,000 of get-out-the-vote spending, the campaign disclosure reports showed only about $95,000 spent on that effort. <br> <br> Pitts could not be reached for comment but his lawyer, Mark Trigg, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he doesn&#39;t owe the four anything. Trigg said the plaintiffs would have to get their money from the Robb Pitts &#39;01 campaign, which he says doesn&#39;t have the money.
