Bartlett failed to disclose $1M in earnings since 2004

Rep. Roscoe BartlettRep. Roscoe BartlettThe Frederick News-Post reported yesterday that Sixth district Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Frederick) failed to disclose an estimated $1 million in income from property sales in the last four years.

The discovery was made when matching up sales from state property records and the amounts listed in Bartlett's financial disclosure forms.

Bartlett told News-Post reporter Justin Palk that the underreporting was "nothing sinister" and a simple mistake. He had also failed to disclose several loans he had made, worth tens of thousands of dollars.
