Lt. Governor David Dewhurst Calls on State Senator Dan Patrick to Release Tax Returns
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – The campaign for Lt. Governor David Dewhurst called on Dan Patrick to release his tax returns today, citing opaque financial dealings and a lack of transparency from the State Senator. Dan Patrick has refused to release his tax returns despite numerous requests from the press, as well as public challenges from Todd Staples and Jerry Patterson in the primary.
“After admitting to pocketing his employees payroll tax withholding and leaving a string of unpaid creditors chasing after assets held in a dizzying number of financial entities, voters are beginning to see the truth about Dan Patrick,” commented spokesman Ryan Hecker. “David Dewhurst has released full tax returns from 2009-2012, and he is calling on Dan Patrick to provide the same transparency.”
