As an FOMC member she's a political appointee and able to keep her home state as an original residence. Tens of thousands of commissioned military, diplomatic, and political officials do the same thing. |
I hope she brings a defamation suit. She would win. Bigly. |
Sure, she can vote in Michigan. But once that home becomes a rental you can't also steal the primary homestead tax deduction. And you know that, you partisan hack. |
I look over everything LeDuff says with a fine tooth comb. He has a problem with accuracy. Nice of you to mention his Pulitzer. He won in 2001. The world and LeDuff have changed a lot since then. |
