Felix Allen Didn't Report His Stock Options

Ooooooops! :rofl:

RICHMOND, Va. - For the past five years, Sen. George Allen (news, bio, voting record), has failed to tell Congress about stock options he got for his work as a director of a high-tech company. The Virginia Republican also asked the Army to help another business that gave him similar options.

Congressional rules require senators to disclose to the Senate all deferred compensation, such as stock options. The rules also urge senators to avoid taking any official action that could benefit them financially or appear to do so.

Those requirements exist so the public can police lawmakers for possible conflicts of interest, especially involving companies with government business that lawmakers can influence.

Allen's stock options date to the period from January 1998 to January 2001 when Allen was between political jobs and had plunged into the corporate world.

(why do I have the feeling the bastard's STILL gonna win? :-()

happy remarks...

I was born and raised in Virginia, and love it here, but I'm glad to know I'm now officially dumb. (By the way, this kind of shit plays better on other boards.)

I believe there could be just a teeny-wheeny conflict of interest here.
