McAuliffe, Cuccinelli split time at VPAP luncheon

RICHMOND — Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli used a brief address to a luncheon to goad Democratic rival Terry McAuliffe to release his tax returns and debate him 15 times over the next five months.

McAuliffe responded by hitting a sore spot for Cuccinelli, calling for an ethics commission. Cuccinelli waited for several years to disclose major personal gifts from a campaign donor and corporate benefactor.

But McAuliffe never ignored Cuccinelli's tax-return and debates challenges.

Cuccinelli and McAuliffe addressed a fundraising luncheon today for the nonprofit, nonpartisan tracker of cash in state politics, the Virginia Public Access Project.
