ALBANY — The tax filings of President Trump and all public elected officials in New York will be fair game for congressional Democrats under a new law.
The state Legislature on Wednesday approved a bill that allows the state Department of Taxation and Finance to release tax returns of thousands of New Yorkers upon an official request by Congress.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo previously said he would support the idea.

How can they do it, without the permission of the taxpayer?
UNSEAL OBAMA;S RECORDS.
(P.S. arent trmps records sealed by that same Obama’s executive order anyway?)
I’m surprised they didn’t defend passage of the bill by saying the Fraud was already spying on anyone he wanted to anyway.

Targeting one individual ?
Obama never lived in New York, this would not apply to him.
Let’s see what happens. I’m not sure that State Law can negate Federal Privacy Laws in this case.

Sounds to me pretty much like they won, for now. The records will be out and damage will be done, and the lawsuits will follow.
The goal is to get them into the media.
It’s IMPORTANT enough to do so.
These b@stards had BETTER be careful about what they’re asking for, here.
Man, I’m so SICK of the Dems and their Dog & Pony show to ‘get Trump’ at all costs to EVERYONE’s Civil Rights.
Trump, 2020. In. A. Landslide. MAGA!
The Senate should request the tax returns of every elected Democrat in the state of New York, their spouses’ and children’s tax returns
Obama lived in and went to college (Columbia) in New York City.
Are they talking about state of New York tax returns, or all tax returns? Hard to believe they could get away with releasing his federal tax returns.
Do the Clintons still live in NY or did they just move ,LOL

Trumps records are sealed by Obama’s executive order
What goes around, comes around, Dems.
The Clintons live in New York..........................
Hillary is from New York isn’t she? I wonder how she feels about her tax returns being released.
Obama attended Columbia University.
