WFB: The Georgia residency of freshman Democratic congresswoman Lucy McBath is again in question after tax documents were revealed showing Cobb County does not recognize her family’s local home as a permanent residence and has revoked the homestead exemptions that were granted.
McBath was a first-time candidate for Georgia’s sixth district and was criticized by her Republican opponent Karen Handel for living in Tennessee when she decided she would run. McBath voted in Tennessee during the 2016 election cycle. Handel questioned how her husband, a permanent Tennessee resident, was claiming a homestead exemption in Cobb County when he lived in a different state.
“Now y’all, I’m just a former county commission chairman,” Handel said. “But I thought taking a homestead exemption here while claiming permanent residency there was a pretty big no-no.”
McBath called the critique “baseless” during the campaign, but it now seems Cobb County has sided with Handel.
Cobb County allows residents to lower their property tax liability through a homestead exemption to residents claiming a permanent residence in the county.
McBath’s husband has taken the homestead exemption since 2000, but has now been ordered to pay back-taxes for the last three years, according to documents obtained by AllOnGeorgia.com.
The documents from the Cobb County Tax Commissioner’s office show an audit was performed after allegations were made that the McBaths were misusing the homestead exemption.
The findings of the audit were that the McBaths did not qualify for the homestead exemption from 2015 through 2018, the year McBath was running for office. It cited vehicle registrations, voter registrations, and driver’s license applications in other states. read more
A quick call to Jussie Smollett is Lucy’s best way out of this mess.
He knows people who know people…
Another house seat stolen by and for the dimocrats. I’m thinking that Georgia isn’t “turning blue” so much as the dims are coming up with new ways to steal elections here.
Karen Handel lost this election by a little more than 3,000 votes but she did concede in a timely manner unlike sore loser Stacy Abrams who lost the governor’s race by more than 50,000 votes and still refuses to concede defeat even today.
Rashida Thalib (D) Mich didn’t reside in her district which was even verified by her own father. Cortez apparently didn’t reside in hers either. Nothing has been done about it so what does it matter. Rules only apply to the peasant class.
RULES?????
For thee, but not for me.
Democrats constantly get away with this kind of shit while the shitbag Republican leadership will pressure senior legislators to resign over some picture of them in blackface from junior high school in order placate blacks who virtually never vote for Republicans anyway even when it’s readily apparent that democrats are fucking black people in the ass every chance they get.
^^^ New term ^^^
“Plantation sex”
Gee Wally, it’s true! The more things change the more they stay the same
Bubba’s Brother, every time another row of townhouses goes up in Brookhaven, Dunwoody or Sandy Springs, Lucy puts twenty more votes in her basket. These virtue-signaling urban hipsters are destroying the 6th district. I say redraw the lines at the Chattahoochee river and make the idiots vote for John Wewis or Jank Johnson.
But a couple of good signs for 2020 are (1) Gwinnett County rejected the expansion of MARTA criminal transit into the county, and (2) Georgia elected a Republican SOS to replace Gov. Kemp. Hopefully he can root out enough Dem vote fraud to make the fight fair.
More proof that Georgia has the best politicians money can buy.
