Legistorm: Transparency's Sidekick

The latest personal financial disclosures of U.S. senators are now available at LegiStorm, www.legistorm.com.

Several disclosures have not been released, most notably Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), who just ended her bid for the presidency. No reason was provided in the letter from the Secretary of the Senate which granted the extension.

Also filing for extensions were Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (R-R.I.)

The financial disclosures cover the year 2007 and must list assets, outside income, spousal employment and other matters of interest to congressional watchdogs. The filings are listed on LegiStorm as 2008 filings because they are were due to the Senate on May 15 of this year.

Disclosures for members of the House of Representatives will be released by the Clerk of the House Monday morning and LegiStorm expects to have all of them posted by noon that day. LegiStorm will add financial disclosures for all congressional aides who must file over the course of the week.
