TUPELO
⢠Around a dozen candidates running for Tupelo municipal office have missed a deadline to properly disclose sources of their income and other financial interests, running afoul of state ethics laws.
Mississippi requires candidates for public office to file a statement of economic interest with the State Ethics Commission within 15 days after the qualifying period ends. The qualifying deadline was Feb. 5, which means the deadline for candidates to submit their economic interest forms was on Friday, Feb. 20.
Even though theyâve missed the statutory deadline, candidates still have around a year to submit their disclosures to the Mississippi Ethics Commission before they could possibly face a fine for their inaction.
