Democrat Wendy Davis is accusing Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott of a "cover up" involving economic incentive dollars on the eve of their final debate in the Texas governor's race.
Davis said Monday that her opponent failed as a watchdog over Gov. Rick Perry's Texas Enterprise Fund. A state audit last week revealed the fund awarded roughly $172 million in taxpayer dollars to companies that never submitted applications.
Abbott's office has denied open records requests for copies of fund documents that auditors say never existed. Aides to Abbott didn't immediately return messages Monday.
A recent ruling from Abbott's office also continues to withhold documents related to Texas recruiting Tesla Motors, even though the company picked Nevada for its $5 billion battery plant.
Davis and Abbott debate Tuesday night in Dallas.
