State Rep. Bruce Franks is being called out for not reporting money he got from numerous political action committees.

A complaint filed Tuesday with the Missouri Ethics Commission claims that Franks, a St. Louis Democrat, took in about $16,000 that he did not list on his campaign finance reports.

Later Tuesday and on Wednesday, Franks' campaign filed amended reports, which note that the contributions had been missing from the original filings. Franks was unavailable for comment.

The complaint was filed by Barbara Whitaker of St. Louis, who could not be reached for comment. The ethics commission does not confirm or deny any complaint filed and only makes a public statement after the case has been completed.

The donations, 27 in all, were made between September 2016 and June of this year and tallied up to $16,025, according to the complaint.

The complaint alleges that the largest contribution was from the Shamrock PAC, made on June 4, for $2,600. This committee has donated to other Democratic candidates in Missouri, usually in the amount of $2,600.
