The Stringer campaign pointed out that Mr. Spitzer used to release his full returns every year.
In 2006, when he was the state attorney general and running for governor, Mr. Spitzer described it as “the right thing to do.” Last year, as a television political pundit, he asked why Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, would not release his tax returns.
“The old Eliot Spitzer supported stringent financial disclosure,” Mr. Stringer’s spokeswoman, Audrey Gelman, said. “Just as we’ve seen on his decision to abandon campaign spending limits he once supported, it’s increasingly clear that Eliot Spitzer believes there are two standards in public life — one for him, and one for everyone else.”
