Some words just seem to go together. Like red, white and blue. Stars and stripes. Chicago and corruption.
Former U.S. Senator and current candidate for Chicago Mayoral Carol Moseley Braun has refused to release her tax returns. And her reasoning is just so, so Chicago: She doesn’t want to. So there.
The Chicago Tribune has the story:
Mayoral candidate Carol Moseley Braun today said she won’t make her tax returns public before next month’s election.
“Because I don’t want to,” Braun said when asked why she wouldn’t be releasing them in the time before the Feb. 22 election.
Fellow candidates Rahm Emanuel and Gery Chico already have released their tax returns … City Clerk Miguel del Valle, a mayoral candidate, also has released his returns.
We blame it on her parents.
“C’mon, little Carol, eat your spinach.”
“I don’t want to.”
“OK, little Carol. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to.”
