NY State Statute To Require Trump to Release Tax Return!
The Issue
People are trying to get a federal law passed that all publicly elected officials would have to release their tax returns. The problem is, it won't pass Congress and even if it did, Donald Trump has the power to veto it and it would just end there.
However, if there was a STATE statute in New York that said anyone federally or state elected that filed in NY would have to release their NY tax return, the New York State Department of Tax & Finance would have to release Donald Trump's taxes since he is a New York resident. Trump would not have veto power for this - only New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would, and he would have no reason to veto it!
The state returns look different from the federal one, but has most of the same information. Whatever Trump is trying to hide will be revealed for us to see.
Trump has hurt so many people through his racist, sexist, fascist, and hateful rhetoric and policies. He is nominating unqualified, dangerous people to important positions in government, and trampling on the Constitution and the values and rights people fought so hard to protect. It is time for Trump's taxes to be released so that people can see what he's been hiding!
Sign the petition now to get the NY State Legislature to pass a law that requires the New York State Department of Tax & Finance to release any federally or state elected official's taxes!
