Judge: Hart’s state tax appeal arguments ‘unthinkable’ and ‘wholly unsupported’

Here’s a link to our full story at spokesman.com on today’s 1st District Court decision tossing out Rep. Phil Hart’s state income tax appeal. Hart, a tax protester who owes more than $53,000 in back state income taxes, penalties and interest - and hundreds of thousands in back federal income taxes, penalties and interest, according to public records including IRS tax liens - made arguments in his appeal that 1st District Judge John Mitchell dubbed “unthinkable” and “wholly unsupported.” Reporter Alison Boggs covered the hearing and has the full report; Hart told her today he could not comment because he had not seen the ruling and had not decided whether he would appeal it.
