Great they are making it a requirement for president and vp, but sick and tired of all these states making these laws only apply to those specific candidates.

Shouldn't voters have the right to know the tax info on every single state and local candidates as well ?

In fact, I would think that knowing what financial conflicts of interests exist for the local treasurer, city council, prosecutor, or judges affects us much more personally. I wonder what they are afraid of?
