AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas Democrats have filed formal complaints against Republican Gov. Rick Perry, saying he failed to dislose debts and income on his home in College Station.
The party announced Tuesday it had filed two complaints at the Texas Ethics Commission. The Democrats say Perry failed to disclose rental income of about $11,000 and two loans he took out for the property between 2007 and 2009.
Perry spokesman Mark Miner did not respond directly to the substance of the complaints but called them a "desperate attempt" by Democrats to cover up failures of their own nominee, former Houston Mayor Bill White.
Perry's daughter has lived in the house while attending Texas A&M and had roommates who paid rent to the family.
