Four of the seven major candidates for Tennessee governor are declining to release details of their federal income tax returns.
Among the remaining Republicans, former state Sen. Mae Beavers and businessmen Randy Boyd and Bill Lee declined the request. As did Democratic former Nashville Mayor Karl Dean.
Lee, who runs his family-owned construction company, said he would not release his income in the interest of "protecting my business and the over 1,200 employees there."
Dean and Boyd said they may consider releasing details in the future.
