[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'd think it would be easy for the D.C. government to police its own employees, when it comes to cheating the residency requirement for schools, because it already has their tax information. [/quote]

The cheaters are playing a risky game. New leadership can easily connect the dots and has all the data points that will give them cause to clean house and start assessing big fines.

I think it's only a matter of time before the DC Attorney General gets a hold of the tax data. Frankly, I think maybe OSSE will lose enforcement powers and it may be moved into a neutral entity (i.e. , the AG's office).[/quote]

Did you read Racine's reaction?

OSSE sent 100+ cases to him and fewer than 10% have been pursued. Racine said that they weigh whether it's truly worth expending resources on these, including whether it's likely any money would be recouped. He doesn't see an upside to going after these folks either. [/quote]

There's value in deterrence.  Even if there is only one public hanging every so often, potential criminals will get the idea.[/quote]
