Item: State responds to Phil Hart's claims/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: Hart's objection prompted the tax commission to file a response two weeks ago in the United States Bankruptcy Court saying the matter of how much Hart owes the state has been litigated, and that he is now seeking a venue to overturn an Idaho Supreme Court ruling he lost in April of 2012. "The tax commission believes that, by objecting to its claim, (Hart) is merely shopping for another forum to litigate the debt he owes to the state of Idaho, a debt established, fully litigated, and finally assessed well before the filing of his bankruptcy," the response said.

Question: I wonder how much money the state and feds have spent trying to bell this cat?
