Douglas, Pollina campaigns say they will back off on financial disclosure issue

Gov. Jim Douglas (R-Middlebury) and Independent gubernatorial candidate Anthony Pollina have eased criticisms for the time being of opponent Gaye Symington (D-Jericho) for refusing to disclose her husband's personal financial information in addition to her own. Instead, their campaigns say, they want to focus on issues affecting Vermont residents.

Pollina’s campaign wants to move forward with the race and get back to talking about tangible issues such as how Vermonters will pay heating bills this winter, Pollina campaign manager Meg Brook said.
