Legislator fails to make required disclosures
Posted by LegiStorm on Monday, July 21, 2008
A congressman, Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.), says he will be amending his personal financial disclosure after a local newspaper, the Frederick News-Post, reported that he failed to disclose about $1 million in real estate sales as well as real estate loans he provided.
The congressman called it a simple oversight due to inattention and confusion over several properties. "Nothing sinister, not trying to hide anything," he told the News-Post.
We expect that with the greater availability of financial disclosures of both members and staff, which LegiStorm put online for the first time this year, more such disclosures are likely.
