Missouri law requires candidates to report all contributions of more than $5,000 within 48 hours, but two 48-hour reports filed by Gov. Jay Nixon's committee April 15 are for oversized donations made months ago.
One report shows a $6,750 in-kind contribution made by Empire Airlines, Lebanon, Jan. 14. Perhaps it was just overlooked, since Nixon received $100,000 in large contributions that day, according to Missouri Ethics Commission records, from such heavyweights as AT&T, Anheuser-Busch, IUPAT, and Kansas City Southern Railway, Inc.
The other report shows a $25,000 from contribution from Kansas City Power and Light made on Jan. 28, and a $10,000 conribution from Empire District Electric Company, Joplin, that dates all the way back to Dec. 22.
