Blake Moore missed a deadline for listing … again

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Rep. Blake Moore shares his experience at the Capitol on January 6 during a ward meeting in the North Branch of the Weber County Library in North Ogden on Tuesday, June 1, 2021.

For the second time this year, Rep. Blake Moore missed a statutory deadline for reporting stock deals.

Inside reports Moore was made aware of three stock option deals on his behalf in mid-August. But Moore didn’t file the business disclosure until September 24, which was several days past the legal deadline.

This is the second time this year Moore has missed a state deadline for reporting trades. In July, Moore failed to disclose more than 70 trades valued between $ 700,000 and $ 1.1 million. The House of Representatives Ethics Committee fined Moore for prior late filing.
