GOP Party!

on presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney to release his tax returns in
order to show voters that he has "nothing to hide."

"I just believe in total
transparency," Bentley told ABC News at the National Governors Association
conference. "In fact, I was asked today that question - do you think that
Governor Romney should release his tax returns? And I said I do. I said, I
release my tax returns. I may be the only public official in Alabama that does,
but I release mine every year and I just believe that people should release
their tax returns. And if you get them out and just get past that, it just
makes it so much easier."
Earlier
this year, Romney released his 2010 tax documents and his estimated returns for
2011, but so far he has declined to offer disclosures for additional years and
has indicated he is unlikely to do so. Democrats have pounced on Romney for
what they see as a lack of transparency.
The
Republican governor, who voted for Rick Santorum over Romney in his state's
presidential primary, added: "I think that it's always easier just to say,
hey I'm releasing everything, and just get it out there and then get past
it."
This
is another sign that in his own party, GOP officials feel that more tax
documents should be released. Mitt Romney is ignoring his party thus far and insists
that he will not release any more documents, that he has released enough where
the American people could know about his finances he said on a interview with
CNN.
