EXCLUSIVE: City pol devises plan to force President Trump to reveal his tax returns

[bathroommonkey76]

Just in time for Tax Day — and protests of President Trump that are planned to accompany it — one city councilman is hoping to use Trump’s city golf course as leverage to get a look at his tax returns.

Councilman Corey Johnson plans to introduce legislation that would require a very specific subset of vendors with contracts for city concessions to turn over the “personal tax returns of any individual named in the entity.”

How specific is it? It only applies to one vendor: Trump Ferry Point LLC, the company behind Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point, the massively expensive municipal golf course in the Bronx that Trump's company now runs.

“He’s making tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars off of city property with his name emblazoned all over it," Johnson (D-Manhattan) said, "and this is a leverage point to try to peek into his tax returns."

8. It SUCKS he took over one of the few large parks we had in the E Bronx. I don't even want to look

At what they've done to it. I loved climbing the huge boulder and hanging out under the Whitestone bridge, looking for horseshoe crabs and being scared when we found them! Can't imagine how much of it is fugging stupid golf. Ugh.

out when he finds out.
