From Raw Story, relaying what a local news station found:
"A Channel 2 Action News investigation has found that Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband have two active homestead exemptions, which is against Georgia law. A homestead exemption is a big tax break any Georgia homeowner is entitled to for their primary residence. It is against the law to file for more than one," WSB-TV reported Friday."
Would we expect any less from the woman whose father's company made her rich by taking advantage of government contracts for low income housing? She doesn't have a record of being the most honest person.
Pay special attention to her response. This lady is a real Piece of work. Blame everyone else for your own cheating.
The only response should be that they are looking in to it.
'big tax break' ? Hardly. Perhaps they recently moved, like within the last 6 months? Jeepers get ahold of yourselves. "This is huge!"
Not
The local news station says
"The penalty for filing a false homestead exemption according to Georgia code is twice your tax bill. For the Greenes, according to their 2020 bill, that could be nearly $12,000.
“This isn’t a paperwork issue, this is fraud. You can’t accidentally declare homestead exemption in two different counties,” Perry said."
"In the Floyd county application, Greene’s husband left blank the line that asked if they had another active exemption on any property." <-- The Greene's new exactly what they were doing. They got caught.

Corruption runs rampant in the Republican party.
When my dad died, I had no idea he had a homestead exemption. I have a homestead exemption on my house..... I held that house for 5 years like that? Did I break some invisible law? No one came knocking on my door.

If she made a mistake she should just say so. Not blame the person who uncovered it. Typical deflection. Always someone else doing something wrong.
