TOWSON, Md. (AP) — Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, who is running for governor, says he will not make his income tax returns available for review. His opponent, Republican Larry Hogan, also has yet to do so.
Brown, a Democrat, said Friday after a forum in Towson that he believes the financial disclosure statements he has filed with the state for 16 years provide sufficient information about his financial background for Maryland voters.
Financial disclosure statements filed with the state require disclosure about real estate and equity interests and debts, but they generally don’t provide as much detail about a person’s finances as a tax return.
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 due to illness.
