Reid Still Not Satisfied with Romney Tax Disclosure

Sen. Harry Reid (D) said Mitt Romney's disclosure of his 2011 tax return continues to leave many unanswered questions.

His statement: "The information released today reveals that Mitt Romney manipulated one of the only two years of tax returns he's seen fit to show the American people - and then only to 'conform' with his public statements. That raises the question: what else in those returns has Romney manipulated? ... Governor Romney is showing us what he does when the public is looking. The true test of his character would be to show what he did when everyone was not looking at his taxes."
