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.
“This bill stands for a principle of transparency in regards to top officials’ tax returns and recognizing that shedding light on conflicts, potential conflicts of interest is for a public purpose and also stands for working collegially with our colleagues in the federal legislature so they are able to effectuate their power,” Assembly sponsor David Buchwald (D-Westchester) told reporters after the vote.

“Obama never lived in New York, this would not apply to him.”
He supposedly went to Columbia.
NY tax returns are nothing. They are totally based on the Federal return.
Where is Nadler from?

Yes but face it they are only interested in one persons taxes.
Yup. True scum
Not sure, but I think if 0bammy was a student and declared Illinois as his state of permanent residence, the only NY tax record would be if he had work income in NY. We all know the 0bammy never worked a day in his life.
Bill of attainder.
Do the Clintons still live in NY or did they just move ,LOL
These asshole democrats couldn’t balance a checkbook much less understand tax returns. Besides, the IRS has probably audited every tax return Trump ever filed, Democrats are just being their normal douches’.
Yes ...I think most of them require at least the 1040 and the A and B if applicable.
No ex post facto laws, douchebags.
It may be ok to have such a law apply to future tax returns.
I’m pretty sure changing the rules under which past returns were signed is an ex post facto law.
And other laws have fallen which are transparently directed at a single person even though they pretend to apply to a class of persons. This is as close to a Bill of Attainder as you will ever see.
Clinton did...
Why not pass laws to make anything legal, if you’re going to pass laws that attempt to make some illegal acts legal.
There is no just cause for Trump’s records to be provided here.
This is yet more of the attempts to take down the duly elected President of the United States, for no justifiable cause.
Add more individuals to the list of people participating in the coup.
Obama never lived in New York
They do not have the right to do that.
She was always a Yankees fan.
Close enough.

Close enough.
This could actually be great thing.... and the end of the IRS since it is now being used as a political weapon.
