Haridopolos Says He Has Corrected Financial Disclosure Mistakes

According to a statement released by Sen. Mike Haridopolos, R-Merritt Island, simple oversights in filling out the financial disclosure paperwork are to blame for the mistakes cited in a report released Wednesday by the Florida Ethics Commission. Haridopolos says he has corrected the mistakes.

Here is the Senate president-designate's statement:

"I acknowledge mistakes made on my financial disclosure form from past years. None of these were intentional and once pointed out, I corrected the mistakes. I have filed amended disclosure forms with the necessary corrections.

"Complete disclosure with the citizens of Florida is a responsibility I take very seriously, and that is why I felt it was important to make these corrections as soon as these errors were brought to my attention."
