Angela Moore's Financial Disclosure

On April 7th, I looked for Angela Moore's financial disclosure online at the State Ethics Commission and did not find it. Today, I did find it, and noted that it while it was dated 4/7/2006, it was e-filed on 4/17/2006, well after the deadline. This could have been an Ethics Commission issue, since a number of the disclosures were not immediately available for review on line. It's not the filing deadline that got my attention, anyway. She lists over $155,000.00 in contributions this period and over $400,000.00 total.

The amount is easy to see, but it is harder to figure out where the money is coming from. I have not actually done the math, but it appears to me that a significant portion- maybe most- of her money for this period comes from interests and individuals outside of Georgia. I also find it interesting that for a number of her individual donors, she lists "N/A" where the employment and occupation information should go.

I am not an expert of these filings, but since she wants to become Secretary of State, shouldn't she know how this is done? How can the employment info be "Not Applicable*" to an individual?

Check this out yourself.
* Mel points out that in this context N/A means "Not Available" but, even so, isn't this a concern?

I think the N/A in this case mean Not Available. Still, there are certainly some "issues" there.

you may also want to check if any of those companies listed actually exist. That filing is a piece of fiction.

Good points, both of you.
