Maryland tax officials are revoking a New York congressman's claim to thousands of dollars in tax breaks for a home he owns in an upscale Washington suburb.Democratic Rep. Eliot Engel represents the Bronx, and rents an apartment there. But he and his wife have listed a house in Potomac, Md., as their primary residence on Maryland property tax forms for at least 10 years.
The claim has netted the Engels nearly $7,000 in credits over the past four years.
Engel aides say he lives in the Bronx and believes the Maryland "homestead" credit should be removed if he isn't eligible for it.
According to the rules in Maryland, Engel and his wife don't qualify for primary residency since they both have New York drivers' licenses and voter registration cards.
Is there a liberal in the media willing to call this crap out once and for all?
