Sen. Kennedy Makes Tax Gaffe

A published report says Senator Ted Kennedy has received tax breaks on his Washington home, even though he does not qualify for the deduction.
Kennedy's staff tells the Boston Herald that the senator never applied for the tax break and apparently received it in error. A spokeswoman says Kennedy plans to reimburse the District of Columbia government for the money.
A review of tax and real estate records by the Kansas City Star found that Kennedy was one of 22 senators who took the so-called Homestead Exemption in 2003 and 2004.
But the deduction is meant only for homeowners who call D.C. their principal residence, and Kennedy remains a Massachusetts resident.
He reportedly stood to save about $7,700 this year on the tax bill for his $4.5 million dollar Washington home.
This was a big deal here in MA. Good that flubber has to run again.
