Paquin Discloses $510,000 Income

Tony Paquin, the Coeur d’Alene businessman challenging Rep. Helen Chenoweth for the Republican congressional nomination in Idaho’s 1st District, received more than $510,000 in salary and stock options in the past two years.

That’s contained in a personal financial disclosure report filed by Paquin. He is expected to meet Chenoweth in next May’s primary election.

Chenoweth, who has run into some controversy over the disclosure reports in her nearly three years in Congress, hasn’t filed her latest report yet.

Paquin said he received $263,250 from AMS Services Inc. last year and $247,110 so far this year. The report said Paquin is a vice president of that company. He said he is receiving severance pay that will run out at the end of this year.

He also is president of Paquin Consulting Inc., Netivation Inc. and a director of Q and A Communications.
