Can someone explain the car, the property tax exemption and the college tuition?

With all due respect, this sounds too damn familiar - a pol is called by a constituent with a serious problem and the solution is to gerry-rig (on the fly, no less) the existing rules, all expenses paid by the tax-payer. This is not a solution, this is vote buying with our tax-dollars.

I don't know about the car....unless they have to have a vehicle modified to transport him home and then in the driveway around the clock in case of an emergency....just
a wild guess at how they would justify that. The property
tax exemption and college tuition sounds like a state benefit for disabled vets. I'd be willing to bet the 19 year old can only use that at a state supported college in his local area. Maybe the car is donated by
a local dealership....This really sounds like a private
industry, state, and Fed partnership and, if so, it's a good thing. Can't imagine the feds providing this much
for anyone all on their own.
