Kaine stonewalls on out-of-state travel << New

postcardGov. Tim Kaine (D) continues to hide his extensive national travel schedule as Democratic National Chairman, despite news media requests. The Virginia GOP has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the itinerary; and the DNC has finally agreed (belatedly) to reimburse the state for Kaine's travel-related security expenses. (See more in State campaign news and the RPV video.)
