Quinn for Illinois Media Advisory

Tuesday, July 8, 2014

CHICAGO – Governor Pat Quinn will be joined by Illinois workers to call on Republican billionaire Bruce Rauner to release his 2013 income tax return and complete tax documents, including schedules, from previous years.

WHEN: 2 p.m.

WHERE: Plumbers Hall

1340 W. Washington Blvd

Chicago, 60607

OK, first of all, Rauner hasn’t even filed his 2013 taxes yet, so how can he release them? He filed for an extension. Rod Blagojevich did exactly the same thing when Quinn was RRB’s running mate. Not to compare Rauner to Blagojevich, of course, but what Rauner did is totally legal and acceptable practice.

The part about the releasing all schedules from previous years isn’t a bad point, though.

*** UPDATE *** AP…

Republican candidate for Illinois governor Bruce Rauner says he’ll release his 2013 income tax returns once they’re ready.

Rauner Spokesman Mike Schrimpf says Rauner got a six-month extension of the April 15 filing deadline. He says Rauner will make his returns public before the Nov. 4 election.

Again, RRB did this very thing in 2006 and his running mate did not complain at all.
