On Saturday, Ohio Gov. John Kasich released seven years worth of tax returns, leaving Donald Trump as the only Republican candidate yet to furnish his tax information.
The returns show that Kasich and his wife, Karen, made $5 million between 2008 and 2014, and paid an effective federal tax rate of 24.3 percent, Kasich's campaign said.
