Five weeks until Election Day and Dems are giving Republican Tom Foley no slack in the battle of press releases, rhetoric, charges and allegations. Both sides are spending heavily on that front on the airwaves. And each side is loading up protesters at various events including the National Rifle Association scoping out potential campaign stops in opposition to Governor Dan Malloy. The Dems Tuesday morning protested the wealthy Foley’s tax returns.
News release from Democratic Party. Foley fans, feel free to send in your photos and statements to OIB.
This morning Tom Foley had some guests near his Southington headquarters protesting his refusal not only to be transparent about his state tax returns, but also to fully release his tax history to the public as Governor Malloy did.
Last week, the Foley campaign said the partial, highly-staged release was only “for the media.”
So what might Tom Foley’s state tax returns show?
• That he owns high-value property outside of Connecticut?
• That he paid more in taxes to neighboring states than he has to ours?
• The number of states he’s registered corporations or earns income?
• The specific companies that gained or lost money?Since he blacked out his address on his federal tax forms, did Tom Foley list Connecticut as his primary address on his tax forms?
In short, he’s chicken–because he’s hiding facts.
It’s just more Tom Foolerey!
Will Malloy receive a Foley catheter?
Remember the chicken in the pot for everyone promise? Remember the chicken and goat farm? Those are two of the chickens that escaped.
Malloy recruits escaped chickens to draw attention to the fact the nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Analysis is projecting an approximate $6 Billion deficit of your money. The chickens are asking about Foley’s own money. In the meantime, the millionaire Democrats like Himes and Blumenthal get a free pass. You just can’t make this chickenshit up.
A serious reform of tax laws and rules seems to be necessary at the federal and state level. One cannot fault a person for having a good accountant who follows our federal and state tax rules.
