Daily News: Hart Sets Bad Example

Hart's latest problem with the Idaho Tax Commission has brought another creative excuse for nonpayment to the surface. The time limit for Hart to pay a $53,000 tax bill ran out in December. He said he ignored the deadline because the Idaho Constitution exempts lawmakers from civil process during the Legislative session. Never mind that the tax bill was due a full 10 days before the 2010 session started. We don't buy the use of an exemption he twists to suit his purpose. And we hope the Idaho Tax Commission doesn't either/Murf Raquet, Moscow-Pullman Times-News. More here.

Question: What would you do if you were in Rep. Phil Hart's shoes right now?
