Election Day is just around the corner -- Tuesday -- but still, six candidates for Houston City Council still have not turned in their personal financial statements, or, as I call them, "ethics forms."

C'mon, guys. Under state law, y'all were supposed to have filed by the 20th day after the qualifying deadline. That was weeks ago. Everyone else has filed.

There's a reason why candidates are required to fill out these forms: So that the public can see whether potential candidates have possible conflicts of interest or would otherwise benefit from city business. When you don't turn in your form, you're preventing the voters from going into the election with all the information they need to make a decision.

If you see any of these guys, tell 'em they need to get their forms over to the city secretary's office, will you?
