Today’s Poll: Should House Speaker Lawerence Denney call for an ethics probe into Rep. Phil Hart’s tax problems?

Why should anyone elect as a representative someone who owes the rest of us money. We can argue about whether taxes are too high or too low but you can’t fund police, roads, schools etc. without taxes. If he’s a tax protesteor he can do what Gandi did and go to jail for his beliefs. It ain’t legal to dodge taxes. Nor is it moral.
