Bill Thompson failed to disclose finance doc info

Mayoral candidate Bill Thompson’s campaign failed to disclose mandatory information on his latest campaign finance documents, The Post has learned.

The candidate — who is running citywide for the fourth time — reported spending $19,112.68 in credit card bills in 2012, but failed to report the individual expenditures with the city Campaign Finance Board, according to public records.

Thompson reported six credit card payments this year, ranging from $4,794.41 on Jan. 17 to $2,600 on June 4, records show.

But the board requires candidates to reveal individual expenses and not merely report “credit card payments.”

After being questioned by The Post, the board said it will examine the issue when it conducts it routine audit of all 2013 campaigns after Election Day, said spokesman Eric Friedman.

But he did point out that the issue is not egregious enough to prevent Thompson from getting the city’s 6-1 taxpayer-backed matching funds.

“To ensure that disclosure for the public is meaningful, the requirement is to report what the money was spend on and not just the payment to the credit card company,” Friedman said.

“If he goes all the way past the election [without submitting the information], when we do the audit it would be something that we’d ask him about.”

The Thompson campaign could not be reached for comment yesterday.

By a mere 4.6 points, Thompson lost the 2009 race to Mayor Bloomberg, a billionaire who did not participate in the public-financing system. Thompson was outspent more than 10-1.

Thompson is trailing the pack of likely Democratic mayoral candidates for 2013.

The former city comptroller has just over $1 million on hand, compared to $2.1 million in Public Advocate Bill de Blasio’s coffers, $1.8 million for Comptroller John Liu, $5 million for City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and $2.3 million for Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer.
