Compounding the error

The Post-Dispatch has reprinted an inaccurate account of the tax benefits enjoyed by Roy and Abigail Blunt on their $1.6 million DC mansion:
District of Columbia law allows a residential property owner — in this case, Blunt's wife, Abigail — to deduct $67,500 from the assessed value of a home if it serves as the owner's primary residence.
It was clear before the story was written -- see our post and the update from The Star -- that Roy and Abigail Blunt own the house together.
With Blunt's refusal to take responsibility and lame excuses, this is a relevant detail.
