Why is this important?
It's been an unwritten rule for four decades. By disclosing their tax returns, presidential candidates have let us know if they had potential conflicts of interest - BEFORE they were elected to negotiate and make war on our behalf.
It's time to write down this unwritten rule. It's time to require this of any candidate wanting to be placed on the Maine ballot, and wanting to be our next military and policy commander-in-chief.
