Demonstrators Call On Romney To Disclose More About His Wealth

Members of the liberal leaning political action committee MoveOn dot org  are trying to keep the focus on  Mitt Romney’s business record.  As WAMC’s Paul Tuthill reports there was a demonstration scheduled Friday outside Romney’s campaign headquarters in Boston.

   Move On members  called on  Romney to release more than just the one year of income tax returns he’s previously disclosed.  Pat Fiero, a Move On organizer in western Massachusetts said the financial disclosures are about integrity and principles.

   Friday’s demonstration comes as the Obama campaign hammered Romney about his business record. The criticism triggered by reports that questioned how long Romney was actually in charge at Bain Capital.  Romney has said he left the venture capital company in 1999,but government documents listed him as the owner until 2002.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
