Many of those homes on the island are State owned, and get rented out for $50 or $100 a year - its all in who you know: campaign contributors, cronies, etc. The newspapers jump on it once in a while, but as both parties like being able to offer favors, they don't change a thing. Some are rented State land - 50 to 100 year leases. Those are the best sweetheart deals: you own the home and yet pay no taxes due to the State owned land it sits on!
We have the cutest little boy named Titus, and the main purpose of this blog right now is to keep all his grandparents (who live 1000 miles away) and Lydia (who lives thousands of miles away!) and everyone else (:D) updated on how he is growing and maturing.
