[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on, "residency" means you LIVE THERE, not that you own a property. Residency and ownership are two different terms that can overlap, but dont have to.  [/quote]

It did NOT mean that in 2008. I posted a non-public document that explains this. The proof of residency statue defines, parent, it defines child, but it does not define residency. I am not arguing the definition of residency, I am just looking for a place on the DC government web page where it is defined, since the definition has obviously been changed and non-public documents define it.[/quote]

Under no definition that I can find in any dictionary or statute does "reside" mean "own."[/quote]

When you own a residence in DC you can claim you have a residency in DC. Unless it is clearly explained And I was on the jury, I would let them off, especially since owning a residence was enough to claim residency in the past. You can't just change the meaning of residency and not let the public know.[/quote]

Okay, hypothetical juror, what about the other family who was paying rent on the apartment that they claimed as residency? Are they also residents? How many families are allowed to claim residency at one address at the same time? It will be very difficult to fund the public schools if you allow unlimited families to use a single address.

I doubt very much that the AG is bringing a $250 K lawsuit if he's not sure that DC law is clear on the term "residency." If he does lose this suit, I'm sure that council will quickly move to clarify the law, because this is total BS. [/quote]

If anybody provided real documents that show residency I would say they were residents. Only time will tell, lawsuits are lost all the time.[/quote]
