Graham says postal mixup caused disclosure lapse
Billy Graham told AP in New York that a comedy of errors and a postal mixup led to his organization’s failure to comply with Minnesota laws on financial disclosure. He admitted an oversight but said the issue is being cleared up. Minnesota officials noted the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association had not registered or filed annual reports for annuity plans sold in the state, a practice Graham said began about four years ago.
