Volunteer program helps middle and low-income taxpayers at the library through April 11.

During a conference call Wednesday morning, party Chairman Mike Tate praised Democratic candidate Tammy Baldwin for releasing 10 years' worth of returns. According to Tate, voters should know about the candidates' finances to see if they "stand to benefit" from tax cuts for the wealthy. "As voters go to the polls in November, they deserve to …

@ WEACHATER also commented on For GOP Insiders, Romney's Tax Returns Aren't a Taxing Issue. "Very interesting that you are a prominent posted here as well as for the metro San Francisco market as well. So who exactly are you, a mouth piece for this liberal rag called Patch of maybe some DNC plant?" Bernie replies; Long time no hear what are you doing here? Chased you out of town again?
