\"tax-return-form\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mike Pence isn’t exactly “going rogue,” to borrow a phrase coined eight years ago by another candidate for vice president, former half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.<\/p>\n

But the Indiana governor — and the Republicans’ nominee for vice president — is saying something his running mate isn’t saying.<\/p>\n

He plans to release his personal tax returns before Election Day.<\/p>\n

It’s a departure — and a welcomed one at that — from the refusal by GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump to release his tax returns.<\/p>\n

Pence assures us it will be a quick read once they returns become known. I believe him.<\/p>\n

Trump’s returns — which also should be released for public review — seem to present some issues for the GOP presidential nominee.<\/p>\n

Is Trump as rich as he boasts? Has he given anything to charity? Has he paid his “fair share” of income tax, or any at all?<\/p>\n

I welcome Gov. Pence’s decision to release his returns.<\/p>\n

I do not, though, expect\u00a0Gov. Pence\u00a0to talk his running mate into following suit.<\/p>\n\n
