Politicians - Bronx Rep. Eliot Engel
Another additon to the list of cheating politicians...
In the New York Post, Geoff Earle reports:
"Maryland officials have yanked a tax credit from Bronx Rep. Eliot Engel, who has avoided thousands in taxes on his nearly $1 million home there by improperly claiming it as his primary residence.
The officials told Engel he doesn't qualify for the homestead exemption, a tax credit only state residents can apply for, because he and his wife Patricia's primary residence is in The Bronx.
Last year, The Post reported that Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel was getting the homestead exemption in DC from 1995 to 2000 - even though his primary residence was in New York, where he had four rent-controlled apartments."

Thank you for your comment.
I read and enjoyed the link you offered.
I would like to offer the term "above reproach" as a qualifier to categorize those that I must place trust in.
Stated a bit differently, one could use "fool me once; fool me twice" as an analogy. Whatever offense is on the table, the opportunity to repeat it should be permanently disabled. I think that follows your thinking as well.
