Does Senator Santorum pay local property taxes in that community? Does he pay PA income tax?

If so, this is just Democrat bitching over nothing.

How would she feel if she just gave his family a voucher and he sent his kids to private school?

If he owns a home in that Penn district, then
he woould be receiving a prop tax bill each quarter.

See #7 and read the WHOLE article. It's a tad outrages on behalf of the Republican.

Does paying property tax equate to residency? I seem to recall someone in Kansas City saying that he was entitled to vote in both Kansas and Missouri since he owned property and paid taxes in both states.

No, paying property taxes does not equate to residency. Sen. Santorum must establish that he is a resident of the Penn Hills school district. He should be able to do so. But the fact that he pays taxes will have little if any bearing on that determination.

Santorum owns a two-bedroom house and pays property taxes on it. But he doesn't live in it.

Actually they have a gripe. for residency reasons, he owns a cheap home in PA, pays little taxes, never resides there. He owns $750K home in VA pays a bundle of taxes. School district in PA pays nearly $8000 a year for each of his 5 kids.

Santorum is just another politicians, do as I say not as I do.

Santorum pays taxes, including school taxes, on the property.

Yep; and it the LAW in PA:

"Under Pennsylvania's 2002 cyberschool law, the district in which a student lives must pay the cost of tuition for students enrolled in online schools. Virginia has no such provision."

Is this guy saying that all of that money goes ONLY to pay for Santorum's kids? I doubt that.
