Bond's Residency Questioned in State Senate Run Bid
Bond faced cross examination over residency claims in a Missouri Senate primary bid. Attorneys argued his permanent base was in Mexico, Missouri, while he lived and paid taxes in Washington, DC, and worked in Atlanta. He maintained ties to Missouri, citing a long Missouri Bar membership and various documents showing a Mexico address.
Bond facing tax and voting questions in Missouri case
Bond’s income taxes on a trust fund from 1964-65 were filed with his federal return in the District of Columbia. He says he voted in Missouri elections except 1960 and elections in 1961, 1962, 1963, and 1985, and has never voted in another state. Witnesses described his intent to return to Mexico to practice law and politics, which he did in 1968, while records in Audrain County note no voting or tax activity before 1997 when he bought a home there.
