Congresswoman Failed To Report $500K in Income
Whoops!
California Democratic Rep. Lois Capps has been caught failing to report income to the U.S. House of Representatives again – this time for leaving more than half a million dollars off her required congressional disclosure forms.
"From 1998 through 2006," Chris Meagher of the Santa Barbara Independent newspaper reported, "Capps — in filings with the Legislative Resource Center, home to all public disclosure information filed by members of the House of Representatives — didn't include income from two pensions she received, one from the State Teachers Retirement System and the Regents of the University of California."

My hometown is in her district. Can't say I'm surprised. But she'll still get re-elected
