The third quarter 2010 campaign finance reports are due on October 15th. If you’re running for State Auditor your campaign should probably try to make certain that you get the report in on time. At least for appearances sake when it comes to that aura of fiscal responsibility.

As of this writing (October 16) it appears that the campaign of Thomas Schweich (r-rock star) has not filed their quarterly report with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

It would also appear that Thomas Schweich (r) has the people with significant disposable income vote sewn up. Too bad for him there are very few voters in Missouri who fit that description. What his total contributors lack in numbers his actual contributors make up with really big dollars. But, we digress.

As you can see, they did file this:

CONTRIBUTION OF MORE THAN $5,000.00 RECEIVED BY ANY COMMITTEE FROM ANY SINGLE DONOR – TO BE FILED WITHIN 48 HOURS OF RECEIVING THE CONTRIBUTION

Southwest Missouri Leadership PAC

Joplin, MO

$25,000.00

Maybe this one came in in loose one dollar bills and they were too busy counting it to be able to file their other required paperwork?

Yep, State Auditor Susan Montee (D) filed:
