The Atlanta apartment property tax bill did not show her taking the homestead credit. The Ann Arbor property tax bill shows her taking the full primary residence credit. It’s been that status since she bought the home in the early 2000s.

That said, it’s very common for people who rent out their primary home to not realize that they need to proactively change the tax status with the local governing entity. Happens all the time with former primary homes.

How would you maintain a home state and voting registration if you had no address in the state?

Having an address != stealing a primary homestead tax deduction on a $500K+ rental house. Rental houses are excluded from homestead tax deduction. To weaselly suggest otherwise or feign ignorance is nonsense.

Eagle Ed Martin, who was deemed unconfirmable by the Senate and is meeting with Alex Jones, is running the “investigation” into Lisa Cook.

The "Stop the Steal" guy that even the Republican senate said was too extreme to be a US Attorney? Sigh.

Unless you all think she was running an Ann Arbor Airbnb, it sounds like she purposely had a short term rental permit to keep her $6K annual primary homestead tax deduction while renting out the home. Only recently did she apply for a long term rental permit, which results in the loss of the homestead deduction moving forward, per Detroit News:

Cook has maintained a principal residence exemption on her home in Ann Arbor since 2006. She also has the necessary permits to lease the home in the short term, city officials confirmed this week.

Ann Arbor requires homeowners in residential zones like Cook’s to have a PRE in order to obtain a short-term rental permit.

More recently, Cook submitted to the city an application to make her property a long-term rental, Ann Arbor Assessor Jerry Markey said Friday.
In Georgia, Fulton County records indicate there is no homestead exemption on Cook’s Atlanta condo.

Because trump would’ve tried to find any cover to fire him

But he doesn't have anything on Cook either, so what difference did it make?

Trump's whole Cabinet is just people crying about how it's not fair that the nerds won't let them copy homework, and how it's not fair that answers they copied were for a different test.

She probably rented it on a short-term basis to visiting academics. Hence why she never had a long-term rental permit; she never had long-term full year tenants.

That's on the city of Ann Arbor if they left a glaring loophole in their property tax regime for STRs that allows them to still qualify as primary residences for purposes of taxation. I wouldn't be surprised if the home is empty for stretches of any given year and/or she uses it for herself and her family.

A federal judge late Tuesday temporarily blocked President Trump from removing Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, allowing her to continue serving as she contests her recent dismissal.

But wait there’s more

Somehow, the SCOTUS will over turn this in the morning citing her skin color or something.

Sigh. I hope not. But because Trump has 3 cabinet secretaries who have done exactly what Lisa Cook is accused of doing and no one is talking about removing them, I fear you may be right.
