Re: Release of Financial Disclosures
Dear Mr. Chambers:
Last Thursday, the Koster for Missouri campaign released coples of Chris Koster's 2012 through
2015 personal U.S. federal and Missouri state tax returns, including the supporting worksheets
and forms documenting all sources of income, covering the previous 4 years. With these
disclosures, and in combination with the Missouri Ethics Commission filings, the voters of
Missouri now have a clear and complete understanding of the amount and source of all
Personal earnings and campaign contributions received by Attorney General Koster.
For some time, Mr. Greitens has promised to release his own returns and disclosures only after
Attorney General Koster himself did so. Yet despite that promise, your campaign now gives an
array of excuses as to why you have not, and may not, release Mr. Greltens’ tax returns. This Is
pertinent information necessary for Missour'’s voters to assess what conflicts or contradictions
exist between Mr. Greitens’ actual financial activity and his obligations should he be elected to
serve as Governor.
Plainly put, just as your campaign has previously hidden the Identities of multi-million dollar
‘campaign contributors and supporters within the so-called “SEALs for Truth” and LG PAC
committees, you are again keeping the voters of Missour' in the dark regarding the amounts
and sources of money provided to Mr. Greitens during the last four years. This is unacceptable.
‘We call on you to release ~- by 5:00 pm Thursday, October 6” ~ Mr. Greitens’ detailed personal
2012 ~ 2015 federal and state tax returns, as well as those returns for Eric Greltens, LLC,
Including the supporting worksheets and forms documenting all sources of income for each
return. These forms would include, but not be limited to, K-ls, W-2s, and 1099s, as were
included in Attorney General Koster’s disclosure. Only with such candid disclosure is it possible
for Mr. Greitens to provide the voters an equivalent assurance, as has Attorney General Koster,
POBox 44073, St.Louis WO 644 rd forby Kester for Missou, ary Maly, Treasurer. info@ehrstastercomthat no conflict or inconsistency exists between Mr. Greitens’ actual financial history, his
‘campaign's rhetoric, and his sultability to act as Governor.
Please consider the complete disclosures described above as an absolute condition in order
for our campaign to continue negotiating with yours regarding the terms and details of the
contemplated October 14" gubernatorial debate.
Your campaign and Mr. Greitens have repeatedly accused your opponents of financial conflicts,
improper tax behavior, and lying. Itis time for your candidate to live up to the standards of
transparency he places upon everyone else.
Sincere}
