re: #152 lawhawk

So did Rangel and others - claiming homestead deductions for real property claimed as a primary residence, when they were living in other states. It’s a pretty common problem actually - taxpayers are trying to max out their deductions, credits, exemptions, etc., and ignore that they can’t own (and claim) more than one primary residence.

Right, and if Rahm had done stuff like this, it would be a serious problem, but I’m not seeing any allegation that he tried to play the tax system in this manner.
