Record To Public

Montpelier, VT - Vermont Republican Party Chairman Jim Barnett
today called on former Governor and presidential candidate Howard
Dean to open his gubernatorial record to public scrutiny. Dean
has sealed his papers for a decade.
"If Howard Dean plans to run on his record in Vermont, he needs
to share that record with the public" said Barnett. "The American
people should not just have to take his word for it."
"By refusing to subject his record to public scrutiny, Howard
Dean is telling the American people to pay no attention to the
man behind the curtain," Barnett continued.
"If Howard Dean is serious about straight talk, he can start by
being upfront with the American people about his tenure as
Governor of Vermont. If he doesn't open his record, it obviously
means there's something he wants to hide from us," said Barnett.
