TOWSON, Md. (AP) — Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who is running for governor, says he does not plan to make his income tax returns public. His opponent, Republican Larry Hogan, has not released his, either.
Brown, a Democrat, said after a forum in Towson that he believes financial disclosure statements he has filed in the past for 16 years are sufficient information.
Hogan’s campaign has not responded to repeated requests by The Associated Press to make his tax returns available. Hogan canceled an appearance at Friday’s forum.
Brown makes $125,000 a year as Maryland’s lieutenant governor. Hogan is a real estate broker.
In Maryland’s last governor’s race, former Gov. Robert Ehrlich voluntarily released partial tax returns in his rematch with Gov. Martin O’Malley, who made his tax returns available a day later.
