Character counts. Deviations from the intent of the rules is misconduct. Either he is evading paying proper property tax rates or lying about his primary residency as required by election law rules. One of the two rules has been broken. Which one? He may be a good person at heart as some have attested, however this is no excuse for the situation he presents himself. You cannot in one breath say you will donate your monies for a cause then turn around and cheat your neighbors by paying less than you owe. This is elitism. Character counts.

Too funny, I lived in Cantonment over 10 years and would run into Kevin or Lina on a regular bases at the local grocery store, gas stations, post office and barbershop to name a few. Guess the boy just likes driving to the big city of Molino every day to do his shopping?

Stumpknocker you are absolutely correct. Your homestead exemption is for the house that is your “primary” residence only. Not one that you visit “once and again” There are “NO” exceptions to this.

“Check the facts of this story. Mr. Stephens was at the City Council meeting to speak out AGAINST installing restrooms at the park.”

Not true. Mr. Stephens spoke in favor of permanent restrooms, which he basically volunteered time and services of his various businesses to make happen. In addition, he said he would be willing to donate a portion of ECUA salary toward permanent restrooms.

When I filed for homestead I was asked and told very clearly by the lady in the tax office that this was only for where I laid my head and had to show all kinds of proof to her, so it maybe that he’s claiming it for wrong house .

He’s probably claiming homestead on the house in the city to save on taxes for the more expensive home.

I’ve personally done work for Kevin a few years back at his home in Barth building a shop and putting a metal roof on his house. Kevin is a great guy!
