Comments on: What Do Statements of Economic Interest Reveal About Your Legislator? http://www.nccivitas.org/2011/what-do-statements-of-economic-interest-reveal-about-your-legislator/ North Carolina's Conservative Voice Thu, 16 May 2013 15:43:18 -0400 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Clark Riemer http://www.nccivitas.org/2011/what-do-statements-of-economic-interest-reveal-about-your-legislator/comment-page-1/#comment-3138 Clark Riemer Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:21:35 +0000 http://www.nccivitas.org/?p=5156#comment-3138 This article has been updated to clarify the language income disclosure. The term “spouse” was updated to “household members” in order to more accurately reflect the SEI form.

I had no such income in 2010. I was campaigning for office and surviving exclusively on my emergency food stores. I was not a member of the General Assembly until 2011. If the form had asked for 2011 income I would have listed the NCGA. I am not surprised that the State Ethics Commission is confused by basic English. If they wanted current employment, the form should have asked for it.

I will quote the form: “List all sources of income (not amounts) of more than $5,000 received by you, your spouse, or other members of your immediate family during 2010. Include salary, wages, state/local government retirement, professional fees, honoraria, interest, dividends, rental income, and business income. Do not include income received from the following sources: Capital Gains, Military Retirement, Federal Government Retirement, Social Security Income/SSDI”

I had no income in 2010, because I was campaigning for office and not working. So how is that a ‘mistake?’
