Burris fails to report stock options on financial disclosure

Posted by LegiStorm on Friday, June 26, 2009

The personal financial disclosure of Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) is attracting yet more attention to the lawmaker's short but troubled tenure.

The Chicago Tribune reported that Burris, who was appointed by disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich, failed to disclose un-exercised stock options for a company where he was a board member. The Tribune reports that Burris intends to amend his financial disclosure to reflect the options to buy 8,000 shares of Inland Real Estate Corp. for prices between $9 and $20. However, the company's share price was $6.72 on Wednesday, making it unlikely Burris will exercise his options anytime soon, according to the Tribune.

You can see the personal financial disclosures of all members of the House and Senate, as well as congressional staffers, at LegiStorm.
