Resolved Question: Is Pete Stark (D-CA) an illegitimate representative or a tax cheat?
Rep. Fortney “Pete” Stark (Democrat-Californyland) has represented California’s 13th Congressional District since January 1973. In 2007 and 2008, though, he claimed Anne Arundel County, Maryland, as his home, filing for tax exemptions on a waterfront house he claims is his only residence.
A fact sheet provided by the California secretary of state’s elections division (”Summary of Qualifications and Requirements for Partisan Nomination for the Office of United States Representative in Congress“) suggests that any candidate, incumbent or not, must at very least be a resident of the state in order to run for Congress:
I. QUALIFICATIONS
Every candidate shall:
A. Be at least 25 years of age, a U.S. citizen for seven years, and a resident of California when elected.
Emphasis added. Further, the U.S. Constitution seems to be fairly clear on the issue of residency and eligibility for Congressional office. From Article 1 § 2:
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
When contacted by Bloomberg news, Stark (D-CA? MD?)claimed the Maryland house as his only residence. “I don’t have, I don’t own another residence,” he said, adding that he spends “about two-thirds of the year” in Maryland.
Both Stark (D-CA? MD?) and his wife remain registered to vote in California, with the 77 year old representative using his in-laws’ home address as his official address for voting purposes, according to Bloomberg (who says you’re too old to move in with your parents?) — a fact that, apparently according to California election law, “conclusively” proves he is a resident of the Golden State, regardless of whether he actually lives there or clear across the country.
Stark’s (D-CA? MD?) eligibility to claim a homestead tax exemption on his “3,600-square-foot home located on 6.35 acres in Harwood, Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay” (value: $1.7 million, according to state tax records) is currently being investigated by the state Department of Assessments and Taxation, which has said it is likely to deny Stark the exemption going forward, but is unlikely to demand a repaying of fraudulently-exempted taxes from the “California” representative or his Capitol Hill peers who similarly claim state and county tax exemptions in Maryland while supposedly hailing from — and representing — other states and districts.

Resolved Question: Why don’t these girls believe me?
Here’s the deal. I tell stories. Not stories that are untrue. Just stories. Tales about stuff that has happened to me. Experiences that I have had. There are these 2 girls at work. Let’s call them H and Z. They never believe my stories. I think Z probably would like to believe them but H subtly pressures her to disbelieve them.
There is 1 story that I recounted to H and Z that I desperately want them to believe. I think there is a message in the story, but even after all these years I have not been able to determine what that message is. I think it is an important story.
Here’s the story, somewhat abbreviated…
I worked the nightshift at the time. I’d come home at 7:00 in the morning. Go to sleep. Wake up around 2:00 in the afternoon. In the summertime I’d head to a nice waterfront park in the DC area. Catch some rays. Read a book. Just relax. Afterward get something to eat and head up the GW Parkway to the gym. Then off to work.
One summer, for whatever reason, I was being especially contemplative. Wondering about things. Searching for answers. I remember just having finished Nietzsche and wanting a different perspective on things. Wanting something I could believe in. Wanting to have faith. I am not Catholic but I picked up The Little Flowers of Saint Francis. I didn’t know much about Saint Francis other than his love of nature. Finding the beauty in all things around us. Praising God for all those beautiful things. It was the book for me at that time.
Relaxing at the park reading Saint Francis, I noticed a tiny bird had landed just beyond my crossed and outstretched legs. I watched the bird. The bird watched me. The bird approached me. I was still. The bird hopped up on my feet. The bird walked up to where my lower legs crossed. The bird nuzzled there. I remained still. The bird was relaxing just as I was. For an hour or more we were like this.
It was time for me to go. I didn’t know what to do. The bird remained. I slowly and gently moved my legs. The bird stirred. The bird reluctantly walked down my legs and feet to the grass. The bird looked back at me. The bird flew away.
Less than an hour from all of this happening I’m in my car driving to the gym. Still wondering what just happened at the park. Feeling good about things. Thinking there must be a message in the afternoon’s events. A bird finding comfort on me as I read Saint Francis. As I’m having these thoughts my peripheral vision picks up something. I turn to the left. I see a bird in the air. Flying directly towards me. My driver side window is rolled up. The bird flies directly into my rolled up window. Bounces off and presumably dies. Could that have been the same bird?
This latest event completely shook me. All the feeling good about things was completely gone. Now I didn’t know what to make of the day’s events. I still don’t. Maybe I never will. I will keep thinking about that day. It must mean something. There must be something I am to learn from all that transpired that day, but what?
Back to my question…why don’t these girls believe me? How can I get these girls to believe me? It is such an important story to me – perhaps my most important story – that I just cannot have these girls doubt its veracity. Do you believe me?
