• Dustin Hurst via Twitter: "Hart gives no answer on question about possible resignation from tax committee. Hart says he will meet with speaker of Idaho House. In short, he is not resigning from committee.
  

The House Ethics Committee is taking a 15-minute recess, at the suggestion of Rep. Dell Raybould, “to  see whether or not Rep. Hart would prefer to resign from the Rev and Tax Committee while this process with the Tax Commission is going on, so that there isn’t any conflict.” Raybould said, “If he would voluntarily do that, why then I think this issue would be completely resolved … for now.” The committee then voted unanimously to take the 15-minute break/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.

Question: Should Rep. Phil Hart be removed from his position on the House Revenue & Taxation Committee, as a result of his conflict of interest involving his tax problems?
