Chicago mayoral candidate Carol Moseley Braun today said there will be "no more drilling down" about her tax returns despite unanswered questions about where she gets her money and the troubled state of her finances.

At a campaign event where she greeted voters, Braun did answer one question about her tax returns. The former U.S. senator said the losses she reported for her CMB One Corp. are losses from her organic food company, Ambassador Organics.

Braun reiterated that she started a business on the verge of a recession and has suffered the consequences. When a reporter asked a follow-up question about the sources of her income, a campaign aide declared the interview session over.

Braun said she has been transparent about her finances. When reporter questions persisted, a campaign aide put his hand over the reporter's voice recorder as Braun walked away.
