Early Brief – What We’re Watching

Rep. Haley Stevens…is introducing a bill today that would require all members of and candidates for Congress to disclose their tax returns in a publicly searchable database. Those who did not would be named and shamed on the database for up to six years.

“Trust has really broken down,” Stevens told us. “Trust in our government institutions and government officials — a president who would never release his tax returns.”

“I recently took the step and released my tax returns, in part because of the cost-increasing measures that have just whacked Michiganders, and because I’m not a millionaire,” Stevens told us.
