Sink, Scott let us peek at their taxes
09/08/2010
Check this one off the political ritual list - both Republican Rick Scott and Democrat Alex Sink have agreed to release their tax returns for public scrutiny.
Generally there is not a lot of useful information. Sure you find out where their dough is coming from and how it is invested but unless they are getting cash from Tony Soprano it's not a big deal.
On the other hand, political operatives for both campaigns will be pouring over the returns hoping to find out that their rival has invested money in a corporation that has a sudsidary that sells milk to Iran.
This will then be turned into a 30-second ad warning voters not to elect the candidate with close ties to the terrorist state of Iran (somber music).
One thing we will know for sure - our next governor is going to be a lot wealthier than Gov. Charlie Crist.
