NBC Report Tonight: Ann Romney Says Releasing More Taxes Would Give Obama Ammunition

Ann Romney talks taxes tonight on NBC's Rock Center. How badly is this issue hurting them with La Grange and Western Springs voters?

In an interview that will air tonight on NBC's Rock Center at 9 p.m., Ann Romney again repeated that the Romney family would not make any more of their tax information public.

The reason she gives to reporter Natalie Morales in the interview is that releasing more tax information would only give more fodder for Obama attacks.

"We have been very transparent to what's legally required of us," Romney said. "There's going to be no more tax releases given."
