Record $100k fine by Texas Ethics Commission against Judge Keller

The Texas Ethics Commission has fined Criminal Court of Appeals Judge Sharon Keller a record setting fine of $100,000 dwarfing the last record of $70,000 against Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversole. The fine was in response to a complaint for failure to disclose information on her personal finance statement (PFS) In response Keller tucked tail and said;
I inadvertently omitted some items from my Personal Financial Statements. [and/or duh!] I am in the process of determining exactly what needs to be listed on my Personal Financial Statements. When this process is complete I will file corrected Statements with the Commission.
Don't cry for Keller. She can pay this $100,000 fine with her campaign cash. The complete fine can be found here.

UPDATE: Here is a summary of what she omitted including over $2.8 Million in properties:
