I see no public policy purpose in excusing Mr. Catsimitadis from disclosing his large wealth while requiring the other candidates to disclose their tiny holdings. Especially since Mr. Catsimitadis' holdings are in private corporations (i.e., companies that don't make public filings) while the others own publicly traded stock and have pedestrian credit card debt. Yawn.

Also the statement about according to disclosure reports that Betsy Gotbaum is the wealthiest contender is misleading as her assets don't exceed $2.4 million while Mr. Catsimitadis he plans to spend $30 million and no doubt has far, far more.
