Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission for Eric Greitens’ (r) 2016 gubernatorial campaign:

151053 12/17/2015 GREITENS FOR MISSOURI Sally Coleman 1608 Forest Aire St Louis MO 63131 Retired Retired 12/17/2015 $5,001.00

[emphasis added]

* What is it with $5,001.00 almost all the time? Is there a secret handshake, too? Just asking.

* Yes, we know that the extra $1.00 over $5,000.00 means that the contribution must be reported within 48 hours to the Missouri Ethics Commission. It’s the campaign finance disclosure version of strutting your stuff – for both the contributor and the campaign.
