Alabamas GOP Governor Calls On Romney To Release More Tax Returns: Release Everything To The American People
-- snip --
Robert Bently, the Republican Governor of Alabama, isnt satisfied. The AP has the story:
Pressure was building on Romney from within his own party to be more forthcoming with his finances, a day after he declared he would not release past income tax returns beyond his 2010 tax records and, before the November election, his 2011 taxes.
On the sidelines of the National Governors Association meeting in Williamsburg, Alabamas Republican governor, Robert Bentley, called on Romney to release all the documents requested of him.
If you have things to hide, then maybe youre doing things wrong, Bentley said. I think you ought to be willing to release everything to the American people.

Wonder if it will call for other Republicans to do the same?
If a large number of Republicans do so, it means they are worried this is hurting Mittens.

Or someone didn't tell him the reason that Romney won't and can't release them.
