States rate low on governors' disclosure survey
The Center for Public Integrity reports 21 states failed to make basic information about the private financial
interests of their governors available to the public, according to a six-month
survey of state disclosure laws by the Center for Public Integrity. Four of
those — Idaho, Michigan, Utah and Vermont — did not require governors to file
financial disclosure reports at all.
Washington was the only state to receive an "A" grade in the Center's analysis
because it provided the most information to the public on its governor's
personal income and investments. Eight states scored in the "B" range, while 20
states received "Cs" or "Ds."
