After reports that married MSNBC anchors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have been mysteriously broadcasting their show from Florida — sources speculated that the location is to benefit Scarborough’s tax situation.
The “Morning Joe” anchors have been reportedly on a home set in Jupiter, Fla., but using Washington, DC, backdrops.
Sources said the reason for the locale was a “tax dodge” — albeit a completely legal one — since Scarborough has a home in Florida and would need to spend a certain amount of the time there for any tax benefit.
“Mika just goes along for the ride,” a source said.
Scarborough, who’s still presently registered to vote in Connecticut., on Oct. 9, 2018 registered to vote in Palm Beach County, Fla. according to public records.
He listed no party affiliation.
By moving to Florida, he’d reduce his tax burden by roughly $550,000. Scarborough reportedly makes $8 million a year and would pay 6.99-percent state income tax in Connecticut, while there’s no state income tax in Florida, the Post’s Josh Kosman reports. To qualify as a Florida resident, he’d need to be there 183 days a year.

Liberals are all the same. They want everybody but them to pay. This is like Kerry parking his yacht in a neighboring state to avoid paying taxes in it in Mass.
Yup. He and John Kasich are also Gary Condit sex buddies....remember the Chandra Levy murder investigation?
She been going along for the ride for a loooong time now
He’s registered to vote in two states?
no mention of their phony “remote” reporting looking set ? Must have gotten wished into the corn field.
If they're dodging taxes, we must demand that they pay their fair share!
Well he’s already bashed interns; the rich are next! ;)
Thanks, that’s a visual that’s gonna stay with me for a while.

Joe Scarborough, hypocrite when it comes to his taxes. Stupid Liberal...
Much like the rest they talk a great deal about spreading the wealth, evil conservative millionaires, tax loop holes for the rich, yet they enjoy the very things they hate and we can see it all
It is illegal to broadcast from your house there in FL Palm Beach County/ Limbaugh did it until the powers that be found out. Then he had to set up a studio away from home. IOW he drives to work as far as I know.
Lets see what happens with these fake news gurus.
I agree. Anything that denies the state of Connecticut and DeBlasio revenue is a good thing.
Tax dodge? Moving to a lower tax state is not a "tax dodge." It's common sense. Conservatives should, however, make sure that Joe and Mika's viewers know that they've voted with their feet. And that they don't practice what they preach.
You are correct per the article quote:
““Mika just goes along for the ride,” “
Given the choice, who wouldn’t want to spend their winters in Florida?
I’m sure both of them got hit hard by alimony and child support, so their accountants gave them good advice.
All these libs’ talk of taxing the wealthy is bunk. The wealthy hire tax men to find the loopholes. Us regular Joes continue to pay out the nose.
