Democratic gubernatorial nominee Bill White is facing criticism for not releasing his income tax returns.  Some critics go as far as saying he has been caught lying to the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC).  It has been speculated White failed to report more than $83,000 in income. 

What does it all mean?

Really nothing, does White really have a shot at the mansion?   Furthermore, after this incident it is even more unlikely.  Texans will want more transparency from their governor. 

What makes it worse is that incumbent Rick Perry has been pressing White to reveal his income returns for quite some time.  Maybe we know why he didn’t publicize them?
