Bernie Sanders coming to Chicago but won't endorse in mayoral race

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders returns to the city on Sunday on the first swing of his second Democratic presidential primary bid, but he has no plans to jump into Chicago mayoral politics.

Although his visit comes on the heels of the city’s first mayoral vote, Sanders told me Thursday he won’t endorse a candidate in the upcoming runoff between Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle. Meanwhile, in regards to his repeat run for president, he pledged to release 10 years of income tax returns, despite years of declining to do so.

Sanders, a University of Chicago alum, is starting his campaign reminding voters about his biography.

The Vermont senator attended Brooklyn College — not far from where he was raised — and headlines a rally there on Saturday.

2. I'm interested in...

seeing if he and his wife will file joint or separate. It was said that an inheritance paid for the new lake house. It was suspicious becuase it was so close to the end of Bernie's campaign. It would be nice if his taxes confirmed that.

5. The proceeds of that inheritance were only $150K....

....Jane's half of a house that she sold to her brother.

The North Hero house cost close to $600,000 - cash.

7. She uses turbotax. I use turbotax, and as noted elsewhere today last night I was able to locate....

...15 of my last 19 income tax returns. Took me all of 30 seconds.

Yes, they're the way they're supposed to be.

3. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread TexasTowelie.

4. I'll watch his rally when he visits the Edmund Pettus Bridge...

...a historic landmark in the Civil Rights Movement.

6. DC, NYC, Chicago...

...why is he visiting the bluest cities in the bluest states while many of the other candidates are actually out there campaigning in places like Iowa? Is he just trying to up his national profile to sell more books or is he actually going to try to win the nomination this time?
