Item: Hart responds to court dismissal of tax appeal/Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: A state legislator from Athol filed a response Monday to a district court's dismissal of his appeal of the state denying him business tax deductions. Rep. Phil Hart's legal representative Starr Kelso filed the reply, challenging Judge John Mitchell's December order stating that the court didn't have jurisdiction over Hart's appeal. The reply calls the court's decision premature and based on inaccurate information from the Idaho Board of Tax Appeals, including incorrect records concerning when Hart submitted his appeal and bonds for the appeal.

Question: What do you make of Hart's latest court action in his continuing fight over tardy income taxes?
