  • Devos Releases Unprecedented Amount of Personal Financial Information
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: John Truscott MARCH 31, 2006 (517) 485-8404 DeVos releases unprecedented amount of personal financial information Gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos today released an unprecedented amount of personal financial information to demonstrate to voters that there clearly are no conflicts of interest or potential conflicts between his business holdings and state government. Today’s released information demonstrates that Dick and Betsy DeVos have paid all taxes in full, have no conflicts of interest and are proven community leaders. IRS data show that the average tax paid on income by Americans is 11.9 percent. The top 1 percent of income earners (those with incomes over $1.05 million) paid an average of 24.31 percent. Included in this document: • In an unprecedented move, Dick DeVos included a list of all the businesses in which he has an interest; • A list of 449 charities to which DeVos has contributed; and • This is a tremendous amount of detail; more than what would be provided in a tax return. #### Paid for by DeVos for Governor | PO Box 22216 | Lansing | MI | 48909 | 517-679-0191 www.DeVosforGovernor.com Dick and Betsy DeVos No Conflict of Interest March 31, 2006 Taxes Paid in Full The most recently filed tax return for Dick and Betsy DeVos is their 2004 return. (They must extend their tax returns each year due to information required from third-parties not being available by April 15.) The tax and income information below is based on their 1997-2004 tax returns: o Dick and Betsy DeVos paid both Federal and Michigan income taxes every year during the past eight years.
