.....Governor Perry has always released his tax returns and Mitt Romney and the other candidates should do the same. If history is any indication, watch for Perry to push that theme hard, and for Romney to remain firm in his decision to keep his returns private. Well take a look at the question of releasing tax returns during the next tax filing season, says Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul about the Perry campaigns request. By then, of course, the primary campaign could be effectively over.
Perry communications director Ray Sullivan responds: Governor Perry made a decision a long time ago in the interest of disclosure and transparency [that] he would make his personal tax returns available. That is a wise thing to do and helps gain the trust of the voters. It would be for other candidates to do the same. Will Perry himself start calling on Romney and others to release their tax returns? That remains to be seen.
For both men, this is not the first time a campaign has included a tax returns chapter. Although Romney has campaigned on the issue, he has never released a tax return, while Perry has released his returns dating back to 1987, according to the Texas Tribune.
.....Like Perry, Romney has been both aggressor and target on the tax-return front. In 1994 Romney called on Ted Kennedy, whom he was seeking to unseat as senator from Massachusetts, to release his tax returns if he truly had nothing to hide. Romney promised hed release his own three most recent years of tax returns if Kennedy did so, saying, Its time the biggest-taxing senator in Washington shows the people of Massachusetts how much he pays in taxes, according to the Boston Globe. Kennedy never released his returns. Neither did Romney.
