INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana House Ways and Means chairman closed out his longtime campaign finance account this month by paying himself more than $29,000.

But Rep. Tim Brown, R-Crawfordsville, said he didn't actually receive any money.

Brown's committee filed its final report April 1 since he didn't seek re-election. Brown has served in the Indiana House since 1994 – most recently crafting several state budgets.

His last report had three expenditures – he sent $12,000 to the House Republican Campaign Committee; paid $3,110 to his wife for reimbursement of a staff dinner and $29,995.66 to himself.

Brown said the Indiana Election Division “had me richer than I really was.” He said the campaign's bank account had less money in it than campaign finance records. He presumes expenditures from a prior year weren't noted properly.
