Marathon Pundit: Marathon Pundit exclusive: Giannoulias dodges questions about releasing income tax returns

Alexi Giannoulias, the failed mob banker, has yet to release his 2009 federal income tax returns. Of the dozens of candidates running for the US Senate, Giannoulias probably has the most questionable financial background--all the more reason for him to immediatley release those returns. He has filed for an extension, but as the Chicago Sun-Times' Lynn Sweet reported last week, "In 2002 and 2006, Rod Blagojevich employed similar tactics to delay inspection of his tax information."

On Sunday Giannoulias held a press conference about infrastructure, but a reporter asked him about those missing returns. Alexi didn't answer her queries.
