Stevens Needs Second Disclosure Extension

Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) is getting another extension to file his financial disclosure forms:

Spokesman Aaron Saunders said he could not elaborate on what changes needed to be made and issued a brief written statement.

“The Ethics Committee has completed its review and has asked Senator Stevens to make a few technical clarifications to his disclosure,” the statement said. “To make these minor adjustments, the Committee has granted the Senator another extension.”

The disclosure paperwork was due May 15, but Stevens missed that deadline. He skirted it by asking the Senate Ethics Committee to review his finances from the previous year. Other lawmakers facing legal troubles, like Rep. John T. Doolittle (R-CA) and Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), did the same.
