Rick Santorum: Accused of taking home-school money while residing out of PA

Question: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette had this editorial: “Five Santorum children have been home-schooled, paid for by the Penn Hills district to the tune of $38,000 a year, until it became apparent that they don’t live in Penn Hills. The newspaper sent a letter to Santorum at his home address, at least the one that he claims. Back came the letter with a sticker from the US Postal Service as undeliverable.”

In 1990 you ran this commercial repeatedly:

“There’s something strange about this house It belongs to our congressman, Doug Walgren. What’s so strange? Instead of living in his own congressional district, Congressman Walgren lives in this house, located in the wealthiest area of Virginia.”

Isn’t that rather hypocritical of you?

SANTORUM: No, not at all. My opponent never owned a home in the district, ever, in 14 years. I own a home and always owned a home.

Q: How many nights have you personally spent there?

SANTORUM: I probably spend maybe a month a year.
