Monday, October 22, 2012
Republican Senate candidate Barry Hinckley is calling on incumbent Senator Sheldon Whitehouse to release his tax returns, according to a press release issued today.
We would like to find out the range of the effective tax rates the Senator has paid, if he maintains any foreign accounts, if he has foreign investments, and the types of tax shelters he uses, if any” said Patrick Sweeney, Hinckley’s campaign manager.
The Hinckley campaign criticized Whitehouse and appearance earlier this year on WPRI’s Newsmakers and he was unsure how much he earned annually from the Senate.
