(Fox News) - The financially-strapped host committee for this summer's Democratic National Convention in Denver is scrapping plans for more than two dozen parties to welcome state delegations.
The Denver Post reports the DNC will hold one big bash instead. Denver's committee has not met fundraising obligations, even though Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have broken fundraising records for their own campaigns.
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper says donors have been reluctant because of the lack of a clear nominee. The city had agreed to raise just over $40 million in private donations by June 16, but had only banked $25 million by last month.
