CALIFORNIA SUPREMES TELL GOVERNOR NEWSOM TO BUGGER OFF

by Bob Walsh

You might recall that California recently enacted a law to required that persons registering for the primary election for President in CA must release their tax returns. They knew they could not get away with it in the general election, which has much more federal control, but kinda-sorta hoped they could get by with it in the primary.

Two days ago the California State Supreme Court, by a unanimous ruling, invalidated the statute.

The statute was specifically aimed at Donald Trump, who has thus far declined to release tax returns.
