Sure that's true in a lot of cases, but it's not uncommon for second home owners to have one parent claim residency in their ski house to get payment for out of state private schools that their kids were attending anyway. I don't want to thow the baby out with the bathwater, but I also don't want to pay for a rich person to send their kid to an elite boarding school. Especially when that kid/rich person aren't even really part of my community in the first place.

Sounds again like an enforcement issue.

Not sure how it's an enforcement issue? It's perfectly legal to do which is why we need new legislation to close some of these loopholes.

Residency requirements are enforceable.

No it is absolutely not legal in anyway shape or form. You admitted so yourself by saying they "claim" residency at a ski house. VT has residency rules. They are breaking them by "claiming" residency.
Enforcement is the issue here. These folks if they are doing as you claim should be forced to repay the state.
