http://newiprogressive.com/images/stories/S5/trump-rnc-2016-s5.jpg MADISON - State Senator Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay) and State Representative David Crowley (D-Milwaukee) announced today that they will introduce a bill to require all presidential candidates seeking to be placed on the primary or general election ballot in Wisconsin in 2020 to submit copies of their tax returns when filing their declaration of candidacy.
Under the bill any candidate seeking to have his or her name placed on the primary or general election ballot for president or vice president would be required to submit their tax returns for the three most recent years prior to filing their candidacy with the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Once the returns are received the Elections Commission will be required to post a candidate’s returns on its website within 48 hours upon receiving them.
If enacted the bill would go into effect for the 2020 presidential election. “While there is a great deal of concern with the current lack of transparency with this president, our bill is aimed at addressing future concerns that could arise if presidential candidates continue to choose to withhold their tax returns from public view,” Hansen said.
