Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Ak) has amended her Senate financial disclosure forms to add information about a riverfront land deal since TPMmuckraker first made inquiries about the transaction.
When I called Murkowski’s office in June, a spokeswoman said a clerical error was the reason they had left off the value of the senator’s mortgage and written the fragment “11/0” for the date of purchase. The office has since checked off the appropriate column for the $136,000 mortgage and updated the date to read “11/06.
Local government filings show that Murkowski bought the land from developer Bob Penney in December 2006, not November. I called her spokesman Kevin Sweeney just now who said “she went and filled out the paperwork in November.”
Note: Our document collection is under repair. We’ll get you her disclosure form soon.
Late Update: Here is the disclosure.
