DFL gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton says he will voluntarily release a summary of his personal income tax information.
Dayton made the pledge today during a news conference related to senior citizen issues. State law doesn't require such a disclosure, but the U.S. Senator and heir to the Dayton department store fortune told reporters that he will make his financial information available within two weeks.
"I'll disclose a summary," Dayton said. "I'm not going to disclose the particular details. But within two weeks, I'll disclose a summary along the lines of what President Obama has disclosed and along the lines of President Bush disclosed before him, that outlines my income and the taxes paid."
Dayton said his political rivals should be held to the same standard. He's running in the August 10 DFL primary against Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Matt Entenza. Those candidates have yet to respond to Dayton's disclosure challenge.
