Deal disclosure again faces questions

ATLANTA - When Republican gubernatorial candidate Nathan Deal amended his campaign disclosure form last week, he added some business properties to his asset column and increased the value of another property boosting his net worth.
Now, questions are being raised about whether the correct property values were used.

The head of the state Ethics Commission said Monday that candidates are required to use the assessed value set by county tax officials.

Last week, Deal listed his half ownership in a property in Metter at $300,000. But local tax records show the overall property was valued at about that much.

Deal's campaign referred questions to a financial adviser, who said he stands by the higher values.
