Records show names missing from Burris' lobbying list

State and local records show that at least 10 names are missing from a list of lobbying clients U.S. Sen. Roland Burris has given to Illinois legislators.

On Feb. 5, Burris' attorney, Timothy Wright III, gave state Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie a list of 26 clients and the years they retained Burris.

But a review by The (Springfield) State Journal-Register found that Burris' list doesn't match records kept by the Illinois secretary of state, the Cook County clerk or the Chicago Board of Ethics.

Wright told The Associated Press on Thursday that he never said he was handing over a complete list. He says he told lawmakers he'd give them what Burris had, which is what he did.

Under oath last month, Burris, through Wright, said he'd give a complete list of his lobbying firm's clients.
