Rahm Emanuel Claimed Part-Year Residency in '09

When Rahm Emanuel originally filed his 2009 Illinois tax return, he indicated he was only a part-year resident of the state that year, since he had moved to Washington D.C. to serve as President Obamas chief of staff.
But after he decided to return to Chicago to run for mayor this fall -- and after several people challenged whether he was eligible to run based on the fact that he hadnt lived in the city for a full-year prior to the Feb. 2 election -- he filed an amended return, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The original returns statements regarding part-year residency were not accurate, Emanuel and his wife wrote in a return filed Nov. 24. The amended returns make clear that we were full-year residents of Illinois in 2009. ... We are also full-year residents of Illinois in 2010.
The tax returns were among the hundreds of documents released late Saturday in response to a Freedom of Information request by the Chicago-Sun-Times. They are meant to bolster Emanuels candidacy against challenges before the Chicago Board of Elections that claim he gave up his residency when he and his family moved to Washington and rented out their Ravenswood home, and is therefore ineligible to run under Illinois law.

See? That isn't so hard.
He was for against being a full time resident before he was for it or something like that.
Is he going to get away with this?

I think he eventually will get away with claiming residency and getting on the ballot.
Now, whether he gets away with buying the job of mayor of Chicago will be up to the voters. (or those who count to votes, to paraphrase Stalin regarding elections)
Why are rats given do overs?
Real birth certificates are much easier to come by then fake ones are.
The resident issue could be solved by seeing if Raub Emanial changed his driver’s license and/or if he voted with an absentee ballot. He was living in DC during the 2008 election.
Most states give you at least 30 days to get a driver’s license if you have changed your residency from out of state. Did he do that?
reading the article & looking at his income-looks like he’s one of those “rare 2%’ers who make $250,000 per year or MORE, how interesting I find this
Well . . . he is a Democrat.
Otherwise you could end up paying taxes at the full rate with no exclusions or "sharing" ~
The terminology used in many states to refer to this situation is "part year resident" ~ even if you were a full time resident working elsewhere.
Oh, yeah. The rats only use the election rules against republicans. They don’t care who runs on their side as long as one of their candidates wins the election.
For some.
It’s illegal to have a Driver’s License from a state you don’t live....they give a VERY small window, like 30 days to change it. He probably has a chauffeur.
“He probably has a chauffeur.”
He’s a man of the people. He takes the bus.
Is a Bear Catholic? Does the Pope poop in the woods?
So does he owe extra IL tax as a result? Did he pay it?
Do you think the SRM would let Sarah Palin do this, and not tear her apart for it?
I hope he gets away with it. Chicago and him deserve each other. His being the major of Chicago will serve as a continual reminder of what these people are and he will fail anyway.
