LegiStorm posts all senator financial disclosures

Posted by LegiStorm on Friday, June 12, 2009

LegiStorm has now completed upload of all senator financial disclosures.

Although they were not included in the release by the Senate this morning, we have filings from Al Franken, who filed only an extension, and Norm Coleman, who filed a termination report. The two remain locked in a legal battle for the Senate seat in Minnesota, with Franken, a Democrat, holding a narrow lead.

However, we do not have the disclosure for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who filed an extension but whose disclosure was accidentally left out of the Senate's release. We will post the extension and the actual financial disclosure as they become available.

An early look at this year's financial disclosures

Posted by LegiStorm on Friday, May 15, 2009

Most personal financial disclosures by members of Congress won't be released to the public until next month, but some interesting disclosures have already trickled out so far.

Take Norm Coleman. The Republican from Minnesota refuses to concede to challenger Al Franken in his apparent Senate re-election defeat, but his financial disclosure is a concession of sorts. Instead of filing an annual disclosure typical of any member of Congress staying in office, in April he filed a termination report along with all other departing members.

One of the latest filings released was for Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), who filed his termination report with the Senate this month. As the Associated Press reported today,  Stevens disclosed a debt of between $1 million and $5 million in legal fees to Williams and Connolly LLP, the firm that represented Stevens in his corruption case regarding past omissions on disclosure forms. A jury found Stevens guilty last fall before Stevens was defeated in his reelection campaign, but the case was dismissed in April after a judge found prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense.
