Chuck Lacy

The re-election campaign of Gov. Jim Douglas (R-Middlebury) Friday criticized his Democratic challenger and House Speaker Gaye Symington (D-Jericho) for releasing "pro-forma" tax forms when she issued her campaign finance filings.

Symington voluntarily released her personal financial information last Thursday, however she issued a "pro-forma" report, which means the information contained only the candidate's assets, on simulated federal documents. In an article by the Burlington Free Press, Symington is said to have opted to use "pro-forma" materials because she filed joint returns with her husband, Chuck Lacy, and she only wanted to her own information to be made public.

"You Complete Me"

Since Speaker Symington Won't Release Complete Information About the Symington/Lacy Finances, We've Taken Matters into our Own Hands With the Help of Google!

Montpelier, VT - The Douglas campaign learned yesterday that Speaker Gaye Symington is still refusing media calls for the complete release of the Symington/Lacy personal financial information.  We're sure the Symington campaign is busy with more pressing matters - like trying to figure out just who pays with "Efficiency Pays" - so, with apologies to Jerry Maguire and with a quick search of Google, we've stepped in to provide a more complete snapshot of the Symington/Lacy financial statement.

Using the "Internets" - specifically, Google - we've found the following about Mr. Lacy's financial interests.  We offer them here in no particular order.

Gov. Jim Douglas' re-election campaign demanded Monday that his Democratic gubernatorial challenger, House Speaker Gaye Symington, release her husband's personal financial information to the public.  

Symington, a Jericho resident, released her personal financial information last Thursday afternoon with her campaign finance report, but did not include information for her husband Chuck Lacy, a former chief operating officer for Ben and Jerry's.
