Disclosure Forms are Hard Work

Last year you'll remember, former TPMmuckraker.com reporter Laura McCann broke the story of how Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski had gotten a sweetheart deal on a piece of Kenai River river front property from a wealthy campaign contributor and Salmon mogul named Bob Penney -- a transaction she failed to disclose on her senate filings. The story eventually got picked up in the state's big paper, the Anchorage Daily News. And after a couple weeks of hemming and hawing she finally agreed to sell it back.

This years disclosure documents have just come out and it seems Murkowski had even more trouble remembering where all her income came from. In amendments to her 2004, 2005 and 2006 filings, she now come up with roughly $100,000 a annual income that she'd forgot to mention. Kate Klonick has the details.
