Democratic hopeful for New York governor Cynthia Nixon is releasing her tax returns.

Meantime, Governor Cuomo said he and other candidates for the office have made it a tradition to disclose their taxes every April.
Governor Cuomo says he hasn’t made up his mind about a special election to replace Congresswoman Louise Slaughter. The longtime Western New York representative died in March but so far, despite a lawsuit, the governor hasn’t called for a special election.
