ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York Democrats have hatched a plan to get a look at Donald Trump's tax records by crafting a piece of legislation designed to get at his state returns that does everything but mention the Republican president by name.
The bill introduced this month in New York's Senate and Assembly would require the state to release five years of state tax information for any president or vice president who files a New York state return.
While Trump's state return wouldn't include all the details from his federal return, it would offer the public much more information about the president's potential conflicts of interest or how his finances would be impacted by his own tax cut proposal, according to supporters.

You would think these clowns would have something better to do . . . keep it up! Will the last wealthy guy who leaves NY turn off the lights? I’m sure Fairfield County is licking it’s chops at that one.
An ex post facto law.
prohibited by Article I, Section 10, Clause 1, of the U.S. Constitution.
Yeah right...and get sued from what you have now to what you might have had in the future...your barking up the wrong tree with President Trump, but your dumb enough, beings as your a libtard to do just that...
Go ahead, we are popping pop corn now to watch your end everything in your life into flames and ashes and wind to blow those ashes into HELL!!!
Any plans for obama’s college records or college application?
That’s true but Democrats don’t follow the law.
I believe Republicans run the senate there but they are NY Republucans - in other words - worthless.
See you in court :)
—and I would think , that under the “penumbras and emanations” from the Constitution , of which liberals are fond, that legislation could almost qualify as a “bill of attainder”-—
Since President Trump is under audit, it can be safely assumed that he DID file his return and that at the end of the audit he would have paid every penny that the government can lawfully collect.
Further the constitution states the qualifications to be President and Vice President. For the states to legislate on the rights, powers and duties of the Presidency is beyond their constitutional powers.
The IDC supports the bill, according to spokeswoman Candice Giove, though Republicans can still block any effort to bring the bill to a vote.
If I were a New Yorker, I'd be pissed that my legislature is wasting its time on this. High school. Partisan politics at its worst.
Thank you, my first thought as well.
Next they will release how many pairs of socks he owns all important news to the left.
I think it’s pretty obvious that Trump isn’t going to take New York in 2020, so he could simply choose to not even bother to file there. FUNY!!!
I think that is for criminal law.
Do not the relevant privacy laws apply here? Personally I think the prez should release his records voluntarily, as soon as his IRS audit is completed, contingent upon the previous prez releasing his college records.
Also, he should release his tax returns no earlier than after his presidency is over.
Something in my gut says this may be unconstitional, illegal and criminal, but I don’t know for sure.
Surely we will be able to see ALL other NY politicians taxes as well?
What a bunch of pathetic losers.
I wonder if they have their lobbyists write their bills like in Washington D.C.???
If it happens, there should be contracts for the lives of the purveyors
