Yesterday was the deadline for candidates to file their post-election contribution and expenditure reports with the Missouri Ethics Commission. The reports cover the period from Oct. 27 through Dec. 2. A Talent spokesman said the campaign mailed its report Wednesday from St. Louis, but it had not been received yesterday at the Ethics Commission office.
State law allows reports to come in late as long as they are postmarked a day before the deadline.
Holden s report was hand-delivered just minutes before the close of business yesterday. But Holden s campaign has continued to receive contributions after his narrow election. Most of Holden s contributions were received before the primary, in which he was unopposed for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Copyright 2000 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
