GAYLORD CONTRIBUTION-WHY WAS IT NOT DISCLOSED?

The article below published in the Tennessean states that Candidate Harold White received $1000 from Gaylord's PAC. White never disclosed that money on his Campaign Financial Disclosure. Why not? Will White support Councilman's J.B. Loring's latest attempt to give Gaylord $80 million of taxpayer to build more hotel?
Read the article . Remember that White also received $500 from the Nashville Business Coalition to which Gaylord contributed $5000.

By ANNE PAINE Staff Writer
Gaylord Entertainment Co.'s political action committee has donated at least $40,000 to dozens of candidates in Thursday's Metro election - months before a 10-year-old property tax break for the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is set to expire.The Metro Council would have to approve any renewal of the deal, although top Metro officials say Gaylord has made no overtures that it intends to ask for a renewal.The councilman who represents the Opyland area, J.B. Loring, received $2,500, the largest contribution among the 36 recipients, but he said Gaylord has indicated that it will not request an extension.
