In reply to the discussion: Trump, RNC sue to block California law requiring release of tax returns [View all]MichMan
(11,867 posts)11. Why not all other offices?
Shouldn't voters have the right to know the tax info on every single state and local candidates as well ?
In fact, I would think that knowing what financial conflicts of interests exist for the local treasurer, city council, prosecutor, or judges affects us much more personally.
Dont understand why California purposely limited it to president and governor only and exempted everyone else.

OP
He does NOT want those tax returns seen. Tax evasion and money laundering is my guess.

Is having your name printed on a ballot a "qualification" under the Constitution?

I am sure you will be thrilled if they block California from enacting this law.

Well, the whole candidates releasing tax returns thing resulted from past corrupt Presidents.
