* Berkley’s staff wouldn’t provide her tax returns, but provided them for a local newspaper story on her 2011 tax returns, filed in 2012. The article contained the relevant information, so she was considered as having responded.
** Cicilline didn’t provide tax returns but allowed a McClatchy surrogate to review them in his district office in Providence.
*** Lugar releases a detailed financial statement annually, which was sent recently to McClatchy, that includes most of his relevant tax data, so he was treated as having responded.

Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y.
Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla.

** Feinstein’s office contacted McClatchy and said it would share the tax returns, then didn’t, even after repeated follow-ups.
