Representative Kino Flores, a Democrat from the Rio Grande Valley, was found guilty of multiple charges of tampering with government records and perjury. It seems Flores had failed to report his sources of income on required personal financial disclosure forms. He could face up to two years in prison.
As I reported in a recent post, an ethics complaint has been filed against Representative Diana Maldonado for the same offense. It seems her personal financial disclosure form included no sources of income whatsoever. As the Flores conviction demonstrates, this is no small matter. If, in fact, Maldonado has attempted to hide her income sources, she too may find herself in an orange jumpsuit.
