Bob Martinez Hits Charlie Crist on Wife's Tax Returns

Former Gov. Bob Martinez went to bat for fellow Republican Gov. Rick Scott on Monday, calling on former Gov. Charlie Crist to release his wifes tax returns.

Florida has had a decades-long political tradition of openness and transparency, and I commend Gov. Scott for keeping this tradition, Martinez said on Monday. The governor's spouse will likely require security and use of state assets. Charlie Crist needs to disclose not only his financial returns but those of his wife to make certain there are no conflicts of interest. Floridians have an expectation of full transparency from candidates that run for governor. Crist needs to follow the example of his predecessors, Republican and Democratic."
