| Description | DALLAS -- The line has been drawn in the sand.
And neither Gov. Rick Perry nor his Democratic challenger, Bill White, plans to cross it.
Perry set today as the deadline for White to release old tax returns showing what he earned when he served as deputy energy secretary in the Clinton administration and as head of the Texas Democratic Party -- or the governor will not participate in a gubernatorial debate with him.
White, who has released tax returns from the only time he held public office, as Houston's mayor from 2004 to 2009, said Tuesday that he doesn't plan to release any more documents.
"One of the silliest things I've ever heard is that he's setting a deadline for himself," White said Tuesday at a news conference at the Jonas Salon in Dallas. "The fact is that I'm willing to debate Rick Perry. He doesn't want to debate ... because he doesn't want to be accountable for things like the $18 billion budget hole." |
