From The Center For American Progress:
First, Graeme has a scholarship to a private school. The school costs $15K a year, but the family only pays $500 a year. Second, the Frosts bought their “lavish house” 16 years ago for $55,000 at a time when the neighborhood was less safe. And finally, the Frosts make $45,000 combined and over the past few years they have made no more than $50,000 combined.
Saying doesn’t make it so. Have you seen any documentation? A poster above found a “quit claim” on this house in 2005. What was that all about? Was this the Mr. Frost who one who bought the property in 1990 or was it quit-claimed to him and his wife in 2005 by the Frost who did buy the property in 1990? Gotta nail those things down and not take anyone’s word for it now that its all become a political issue.
I remember so many of the liberal blogs jumping into the Norman Hsu story when it first broke that it was such a smear and unsubstantiated, etc. Well, they’re not saying that any more because Hsu turned out to be a fugitive and a big crook. Gotta see the Frosts’ deeds and bank accounts and put the Dean at that private school on record for how this particular family got a scholarship (and how much? documents, please) to this plum school. The Frosts are partisans; allowing the boy to be used the way they did makes them look like extreme partisans.
