The Arkansas Republican Party is bringing in a Florida resident for a GOP campaign fund-raiser Sept. 19. Maybe they could sit him down for a round of tax-related questions along with gubernatorial nominee Jim Keet.
We're talking, of course, about Mike Huckabee.
The county assessor's records currently show that the Huckabee manse on Silverwood Trail in North Little Rock carries a homestead exemption worth a $350 credit. Presumably, if this hasn't already been corrected on account of Huckabee's move of his legal residency to Florida in April, Assessor Janet Troutman Ward will shortly be making a courtesy call to the former governor to make sure he understands he no longer qualifies for that tax reduction next year. That's the credit Keet erroneously claimed while he was a resident of no-income-tax Florida. (The assessor's office says Huckabee has paid his tax bill due this year, with the credit, but that's perfectly legal. Under the Arkansas system 2010 amounts due are for property owned in 2009 and Huckabee was an Arkansas resident then.)
