Candidate Eligibility

[Guest]

If a candidate files in District 5 yet said candidate has a house in Hilo's District 2 that they claim a home owners exception for the tax season of 2013-2014 would said candidate be eligible to run in District 5? Stay tuned folks.

Oh jeez, here we go again...

Exemption on a "principal home" is based on County residency, not District.

Good to know Sativa is keeping busy, though -- and so glad it's another nitpick, I was afraid someone would try to address some "real" issues!

Although it is like picking fly poop out of the pepper, most of life is all in the details.

So what is the answer to Sativa's question? Eligible or ineligible? or do they just lose their tax exemption on that property if it isn't their primary residence? There is also the possibility that it was their primary residence and they moved and the tax exemption has not yet followed.

While "the rules are for everyone", it appears that Sativa is only attacking a D5 candiate, even though multiple candidates appear to be creative in their alleged residency.

Wille added, "He appears to live in District 1, work in District 8 and run for District 9."

Reason claimed by Gonzales? He rented the room to avoid the long commute, he said.

I'm sure no "ethical" candidate would tire of the commute....

After the flame out, what could possibly be next from this camp? Stay tuned folks.

Here is the youtube video of said candidate's response to this great question "How can Tiffany Edwards Hunt run for office in District 5 when she took a home owners exemption for her house in Hilo." That means that Hilo is her primary residence and she should have run in District 2. So go ahead and vote for Hunt in the primary if you want to but I believe she will be pulled from the race in the general.

Plain and simple Gonzales did not pull a home owners exemption in 2013-2014. Stick with the question and try not shoot the messenger.
