Don't be deceived by the front facade however, this home is enormous as it stretches way back. Here is an aerial view that shows just how far back the property goes, along with about a hundred solar panels.

A fierce row has broken out between Stephen King and Maine Governor Paul LePage after the governor claimed that the author doesn't pay state income taxes and has moved away from the state. King immediately shot back that LePage should 'man up and apologize' for the comments because he still resides in Maine. LePage's comments came during his weekly radio address when he argued that states without an income tax, like Florida, have lured away Maine residents, including King.

I think that you may have missed my point.
No. You like to tell people what they should be doing.
I believe MLB players are pro-rated taxed at the local rates in every state/city in which they appear.
Even though the accusation isn’t true, why shouldn’t a resident of one state move to another state where the taxes are more favorable to them personally? I don’t see a problem with that!
I’m waiting for the first high-tax state to come out with “exit visas”.
An insidious thing that my suburb in IL did was “sellers inspections”, where they somehow were able to inspect your house (no doubt, for illegal upgrades) before you could sell it. It went ok, no problem, but what if there was a $40,000 “fee” for this?
Sure; so spring training is in a no-income-tax state.
With all due respect, it is you who is responsible for that here. Have a wonderful life.
I had that house selling shakedown in a Cleveland suburb with the house I inherited when my brother died. It’s outrageous. Cost me thousands of dollars.

Impressive! Algore would be proud of the “carbon footprint”
Interesting that Arizona does have income tax.
Anyone who "flees to Florida" for such reasons is in for a rude awaking............the homeowners insurance and property taxes will totally dwarf any state's income taxes.
Lovely state and all that, but we sure couldn't afford to live there ---- and we're in Kalifornia!
Why? I’m not familiar with the dynamics there. Here in NJ we’ve had it as long as I remember. Then again, we started collecting tolls on the Garden State Parkway to pay off the construction - and we’re still paying tolls 60+ years later.
If a visiting team comes and plays 12 games each season in New York City, then they pay New York City and New York State income taxes based on 12/162 (12 out of 162 games in a season) of their income. New York City and Philadelphia began doing this some years ago to raise revenue from visiting athletes.
It should be noted that they also get to avoid paying and income taxes in their home city and state for those 12 games. And the athletes who play for New York teams but live elsewhere only pay New York taxes for half the season (their home games). Most New York athletes are probably smart enough to list a place like Florida as their home residence, not New York. The City and State of New York tried to hamstring Derek Jeter over this a few years ago, but I don't think it was successful. Jeter listed Florida as his home state. This didn't just give him the ability to reduce his taxable income from the Yankees by almost 50% ... it also allowed him to avoid paying New York taxes on his income from other sources (his major endorsement deals with Nike and the Ford Motor Company, for example).
it is you who *are* responsible
My apologies.
Nice!
Actually, Arizona just writes rules that exempt MLB from state tax until the regular season starts, precisely to match Florida.
LePage has a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later.
-——the homeowners insurance and property taxes will totally dwarf any state’s income taxes.-——
Not sure where you getting your information, but I live in Florida and my insurance and property taxes are around 4,000 a year on a 150,000 home....
Florida is about in the middle compared to all states...
And we pay no state income tax....
states without an income tax, like Florida, have lured away Maine residents
Gee, wonder why that might be. Maybe there is a lesson in there for high tax states. Not that that lesson will ever be learned; liberals are incapable of learning.
