Let’s see... Is Henrietta and/or her son going to declare the $8,000 “gift” of free residential living (whatever the value is) on their “income taxes”?

Will the woman and her State Representative Husband declare this as “charitable giving” on their income taxes, getting a break from Uncle Sam?

Will Timothy Geithner claim these two as “dependents” in his late filing of taxes next year?

Just wondering.

Dear Big O.

I need a $125,000 for an around the world cruise, as I have never had one.

PS don’t forget the tip money

Thursday morning, Chene Thompson handed Henrietta Hughes the keys to her home in Hendry County. Thompson is the wife of State Representative Nick Thompson (R-District 73). Hughes and her son will live at the home rent free trash the place.

the comments section has some info too

evidently, she (and her son) bought 3 lots (2 adjacent and one that was 2 lots away) - the lots seem to cost about $47,000 each

she got a loan to build a house for about $150,000 on one of the lots and about that time sold one of the lots

$800 was paid on the house loan over a period of time - the house was foreclosed (abandoned)

on the remaining lot, a quit claim deed was filed to transfer ownership to her son (get her name off the deed)
