| Description | So long as Republican state Rep. Phil Hart remains seated in the Idaho House, he'll be an embarrassment to his colleagues and to the state. Hart mocks the law. He seems to know no shame.
He should be expelled.
There's the matter of unpaid federal income taxes, totaling some $300,000. Hart claims the taxes are unconstitutional, although that question has been settled repeatedly by courts that have upheld them as legal and dismissed claims to the contrary as "frivolous."
Hart's northern Idaho home near Athol has been transferred to a trust in his daughter's name, which reasonable observers would conclude is another way of dodging tax liens.
Hart also owes, according to the state, $53,000 in Idaho taxes. |
