U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison has missed another reporting deadline with the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board for his state House of Representatives fundraising committee. The board sent certified letters Tuesday to all who had missed deadlines. The politicians have 10 days to file the 2006 year-end reports or face fines of $5 a day. Ellison was among those who received letters because he failed to file a timely report for his state House committee, said Jeff Sigurdson, the board's assistant director.
Ellison served two terms in the House before successfully running for Congress this year. His congressional campaign report was filed on time with the Federal Election Commission.
Ellison spokesman Rick Jauert said the state paperwork was filed Wednesday.
But Sigurdson said he was unaware of that filing. Reports are scanned and appear on the board's website the day they are received, he said.
The filing deadline for the year-end reports was Jan. 31. Postmarks with that date are considered on-time filings.

Nothing suspicious here.../s
Ellison's too busy calling the cops on his colleague.
$5 per day? That'll teach 'em!
You can't even get a good cigar for $5
;-)
Yeah, must have been too much of Tancredo's cigar smoke in his office to complete the paperwork.
Someone should call the police.
With a fine of $5 a day, who needs to care about filing on time?
The Culture of Democrat Party corruption. Hand him a cigar!
I would love to have Ellison’s campaign contributors revealed. It should be an ugly discovery for us.
Just another run-of-the-mill, dung beetle, congresscrook.
Oooooooh, $5 a day! Now there's a law with teeth.
Hmmm. Too busy blowing smoke about blowing smoke?
THat's because filing is not mandated by Sharia Law.
To paraphrase Andrew H. Brown, "what this country needs, is a good $5.00 cigar."
$300,000 Prince Faisal Bin Talal, Billionaire, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
$200,000 Mahmoud Ahamdinejad, Dictator, Tehran, Iran
$150,000 Hugo Chavez, God, Caracas, Venezuela
$100,000 Democratic National Committee
There, all taken care of
It was the cigar smoke that made him miss the deadline.
Must be too busy banging his head on the floor and complaining to cops about Tancredo's cigars.
The IRS lost my 2005 personal return for 65 days, claimed I didn't send the return in on time, then tried to charge me $3700 in fines and penalties. Even though I produced the certified return mail reciept where they got it on time, and the reciepts from each estimated payment, all made on time, it took 3 letters to get them to back off. Let's see, $3700 divided by 65 =$60/day.
Seems like Mr. Ellison is getting a smokin' deal to me......
Hmm and that blue star mom was being fined $25 dollars a day for flying the American Flag.
