(Missouri Digital News) -- Embattled Republican Senate candidate U.S. Rep. Todd Akin failed to report $129,000 in pension income he has received over the past decade from his time working in the Missouri House, his campaign said Thursday, Oct. 4.
Akin spokesman Steve Taylor said that Akin failed to include the income in his financial disclosure forms and that the St. Louis congressman has amended 10 years of those reports to fix the errors.
Akin acknowledged the mistake in a letter to the House Ethics Chairman U.S. Rep. Jo Bonner of Alabama on Tuesday, Oct. 2, according to a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"This is an unintentional oversight and I regret any inconvenience this may cause," Akin wrote in his letter.
This is the second time Akin has failed to adequately complete the disclosure forms. Akin amended about $350,000 in property holdings in 2010, according to the Post-Dispatch.
