[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a classic “let’s make an example out of scheming poor people” case. Sad we care so much.

Kick all the kids out, stealing education. The horror...[/quote]

Most of these people are NOT poor.[/quote]

Yep. Not wealthy but half were city employees or federal contractors. [/quote]

How do you know that[/quote]

you read the complaints or Racine's press releases, which talk about the USDA contractor and the DC Department of Corrections workers. They are not prosecuting people who were homeless and living back and forth across two jurisdictions. They are prosecuting people who live in perfectly nice houses in Maryland and have for many years, but kept stealing DC resources. I'd be fine with a family living in Takoma DC being prosecuted for sending their kid to MCPS schools fradulently. I'm glad Racine is safeguarding our resources. Every dollar we save from not educating a MD kid (and it's more like $14,000 each year) can go to actually helping needy DC kids.[/quote]

So ignorant on many levels. You’re not saving any money - per Racine- they lose money when they prosecute these cases - so it’s actually costing you MORE  money.  Also there is such anything as working poor. [b]We don’t know how much these people make -working at DC jail can pay peanuts. [/b]They might not own their homes in MD, etc. [/quote]

The salaries of DC employees are public record. Shawn Clark's salary was $64,096 this year and Donnise Wortham's is $67,158. Their combined income was above the DC area's median household income. And their kids had in-bounds schools in Maryland they could have attended for free. If they--or even one of them--wanted to move to DC, I would be happy to pay for educating their kids. [/quote]
