Former city Comptroller Bill Thompson stood out from the field of mayoral candidates yesterday when he was the only major contender who refused to release his 2011 tax returns after a request from The Post.
A Thompson spokesman yesterday insisted he would turn over the records — but not until next year.
“Bill Thompson has always released his tax returns during any campaign year and will follow that practice next year as he campaigns to represent every New Yorker as mayor of this city,” campaign spokesman Thomas Butler said.
