Washington superlobbyist Evan Bayh made a fortune from the revolving door, collecting millions from his membership on corporate boards alone. But Bayh won’t tell Hoosiers just how much he profited from his career in politics because he just requested an extension on the deadline to file his financial records.
- “Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Evan Bayh is getting more time to make his financial records public…The request comes after his opponent, U.S. Rep. Todd Young, accused him of being a ‘Washington super-lobbyist’ who works for a Wall Street Hedge Fund…The new due date for Bayh’s financial disclosure form is Oct. 9.” (Kayla Sullivan, “Bayh Granted Extension On Financial Records,” WLFI, 8/12/16)
As an Obama surrogate in 2012, Bayh attacked Mitt Romney for failing to release his tax returns, wondering what Romney had to hide:

BAYH: You do release them if you can, so that raises a question. There must be something there they don’t like.
So what is Evan Bayh hiding from voters? Just how rich did he get by turning his time in office into a career as a Washington insider who lobbied for corporate interests and held lucrative positions on corporate boards?
In his own words, there must be something in there Evan Bayh doesn’t like.
