Virginia Republicans are seeking an accounting of Gov. Tim Kaine's travels and public expenses as chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

The Republican Party said it filed a Freedom of Information Act request Friday seeking records relating to his daily schedule since January 21, when Kaine stepped into the national party role.

The Republican request also seeks records relating to state expenses for his out-of-state Democratic travels.

Kaine is in Kansas City raising money for the DNC.

Republican Party Chairman Pat Mullins said Kaine should resign if he can't properly tend to the many economic problems facing Virginia.

Kaine's communications director Lynda Tran said she had not seen the GOP request for the governor's DNC travel and expenses but would review it.

Its about time someone finally poked their nose into this business. Our elected officials need accountability in matters such as this. Additionally, when an elected official quits his elected office, he/she should be stripped of all benefits/perks normally provided to those who do what they were elected to do. This means we should not pay their retirement, protection and should not recieve any benefits other than what they have paid into a state retirement. If you quit, you should lose. Period!
