Denney Removes Hart From Panel

Denney and Hart met Monday night in Coeur d’Alene to discuss the ethics committee’s recommendation.  At the meeting, Hart delivered a letter to the speaker asking to be removed from the tax panel.  ”When I spoke with Rep. Hart about his request, he felt it was necessary to be removed from the Revenue and Taxation Committee while he pursued a legal appeal against the Idaho State Tax Commission,” said Denney.  ”I know he’d like to resolve this matter and focus on serving his constituents in north Idaho.” New committee assignments will be made in December when lawmakers meet in Boise for an organizational session, but Denney gave no clues as to where he would put Hart at that time/ Dustin Hurst , Idaho Reporter.

Question: Do you think Hart submitted his letter of resignation from the Rev & Tax committee of his own accord or because he was told to do so?
