Browns income skyrocketed after Senate election
The family income for U.S. Sen. Scott Brown has skyrocketed in the two years since he took office, rising from roughly $300,000 to $839,000 in 2010 and $510,000 this year, according to six years of federal and state income tax returns released by his campaign..
The recent rise in income was largely thanks to the advance and sales for Browns best-selling memoir, Against All Odds, which he penned after his election.
Brown and his wife, television anchor Gail Huff, together earned $2,565,660 for 2006 through 2011. Last year, they contributed $16,487 to charity, or 3.2 percent of their income.
Brown took a $1,401 deduction for TV makeup and grooming in 2011 as part of a $6,901 tax deduction for varied expenses which included $1,268 for book promotions and photos and $716 for gifts. His deductions include $2,275 for entertainment in 2009 and $225 for recording devices in 2010.

Brown, who urged Warren to be more transparent, refused to allow copies of the tax information to leave the office and instead required reporters to review his tax returns at his headquarters and take notes. The campaign did not allow tax attorneys to come in and view the returns.
