The Fun Continues in Alexandria

Monday, June 15, 2009

The tax, registration and residency follies of Republican Alicia R. Hughes continue in Alexandria:
Attorney J. Gerald Hebert filed a letter with Alexandria officials earlier today asking that they conduct a full investigation into Hughes’ eligibility to run for and serve as a member of the Alexandria City Council. As alexandrianews.org reported on June 5, Hughes owns property in Baltimore, Md, on which she received a Homestead Tax Credit in July, 2007, and July, 2008. Maryland law allows such tax credits to homeowners who claim such a property as their primary residence and reside there more than six months of the year. She also was registered to vote in both Maryland and Virginia as recently as June 9, 2009. According to voter records in Maryland, she voted in the February, 2008, presidential primary in Maryland. She registered to vote in Virginia on May 1, 2008.

According to statements by Hughes during her campaign, she moved to Alexandria two years before her May, 2009 election. Throughout the campaign, however, she drove a 2005 Mercedes C230 that Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration records show, as recently as June 3, registered to her at her Baltimore address. Maryland MVA records also show a Maryland driver’s license in her name, which will expire at the end of this month. The only address that alexandrianews.org could find for Hughes is her Yoakum Parkway address where she signed a lease in March, 2008.
