Stockman's filings don't explain his income

Both as a candidate and as a congressman, Rep. Steve Stockman of Clear Lake has failed to make federally required disclosures about business affiliations that stretch from Texas to the British Virgin Islands, and has provided no details about the business he claims as his sole source of income.

Stockman returned to office in 2013 after 16 years away from Congress - crediting a low-budget, come-from-behind campaign to which he claimed to have lent more than $100,000 of his own money.

Stockman failed to file a federal disclosure form during his candidacy in 2012 when he ran for the newly created District 36, which stretches east and north from Southeast Harris County, around Beaumont, and beyond to the Louisiana line.

Every other Texan in Congress, whether incumbent or freshman, filed a report in 2012.

There is an extensive article at http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/politics/us/article/Stockman-s-filings-don-t-explain-his-income-5006941.php?t=e7e7844f8f4d372650#/5 that details numerous issues with Stockman's finances and history.

This story of woe is in addition to the following story from last week in which his campaign headquarters was found to have 14 fire code violations and subsequently had the electricity cut off:

He's as far out there as Louie Gohmert but he's more dangerous because he's smarter.

I hope he smarts himself all the way to the Federal pen.
