Burris fails to report stock options on financial disclosure

Posted by LegiStorm on 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.
