Since Congressman Scott McInnis' original refusal to release his tax returns to the Denver Post. (4/14/2010)
"Factually challenged explanations"
Ex-Congressman Scott McInnis is thumbing his nose at routine requests for basic financial disclosures, something virtually unheard of in recent statewide elections, and voters across Colorado demand that McInnis come clean immediately.
Scott McInnis actually admitted on a conservative radio program recently that he won't disclose this information because he would take a "beating," which is stunning and only highlights the need for complete and immediate disclosure of his financial ties--and other important information McInnis is concealing.
Sign our petition: tell McInnis to disclose now.
Coloradans have a right to full and immediate disclosure of everything Scott McInnis is hiding, including:
- Tax returns for the same time period that his Democratic opponent already has disclosed -- on April 15th on KCOL radio in Loveland McInnis admitted that he did not want to disclose his returns because he would take a "beating", which highlights the critical importance of full and immediate disclosure
- McInnis' divorce records that, in a highly unusual move, have apparently been sealed--in 1994, The Denver Post and KUSA-TV successfully sued to unseal then-gubernatorial candidate Bruce Benson's divorce records
- List of all of McInnis' lobbying clients and board memberships and compensation, both corporate and nonprofit, past and present, including his time in Congress
- Complete records of charitable giving, from both personal funds and from his leftover congressional campaign funds
