(Joe) Miller applied for indigent fishing/hunting license when new to Alaska

[RamboLiberal]

Source: Anchorage Daily News

After he first came to Alaska, purchased a home in South Anchorage and started work as an attorney for a prominent local firm, Senate candidate Joe Miller and his wife obtained resident low-income hunting and fishing licenses that require a family annual income of less than $8,200.

-----

The cost of the low-income license was $5. Nonresidents paid $300 and residents who didn’t meet the income guidelines paid $55.

Miller came to Alaska in July 1994, while still in law school, and worked as a clerk and intern. He purchased the South Anchorage home that September (it currently has an assessed value of about $400,000). DeSoto said Miller’s wife and children stayed behind at the Anchorage home when he left that winter to return to Yale, going back and forth to Alaska.

Typical Sarah Palin Republican grifter!

1. Greedy SOB. nt

9. Never mind "greedy"... this is felony falsification

You can't place knowingly false information on a government application. It's a felony in most states.

A County Wildlife Officer in Ohio did this for one of his buddies and was prosecuted for a felony,

[Submariner]

2. Always looking for a big government handout

typical hypocritical tea-bagging phony.

[AtheistCrusader]

3. That's not a damn mistake. He did that on purpose.

It's not a mistake you CAN make, and it's not a mistake some lacky can make FOR you, you have to do it in person.

[white cloud]

4. At least they weren't poachers

Like Palin -Fined for No fishing License

[COLGATE4]

5. You can be damned sure that if he went to work for a 'prominent

law firm' his annual earnings were a hell of a lot more than $8,200. Typical Rethug liar and cheat.

6. Article mentions he started at $70,000

And don't these teabaggers tell us that people should have a sense of shame to apply for welfare or food stamps?

[liberal N proud]

7. And his attitude: If there were no government, he wouldn't need a license

He could just go kill all the animals he wanted and take all the fish he desired.

8. As long as he made less than the

income requirements for the previous year then he was entitled to get the discount.

[Incitatus]

10. Correct, legally he had the right.

Even though he was making 70k at the time, he choose to take advantage of a program intended to help poor people.

[Theobald]

12. Correct, he chose to take advantage

of a program to help poor people. He was a student in the previous year with negligible income and sometime; probably half way through the next year, he started a job that paid him around 70k a year. He also probably had student loans, relocation expenses, and other expenses that gave him a limited amount of disposable income.

This is a non-issue for me, as long as he didn't break any rules, and didn't pontificate against anybody who took such government tax credits, than everything (with this particular issue) is fine by me.

11. Many think you shouldn't have to have a license at all

This will likely make him more of a hero in anti-government Alaska.
