Item: Judge orders Hayden man to file tax returns: Scott Grunsted could be held in contempt if he doesn’t comply /David Cole, Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: A 1st District Court judge on Wednesday ordered a Hayden man to file his state income tax returns for 2006 through 2008. Scott A. Grunsted, 62, had refused to do so on his own, and efforts by the Idaho Attorney General’s office and Idaho State Tax Commission couldn’t get him to budge. In 2006, he earned $103,860, in 2007 it was $111,877, and in 2008 he took in another $119,332. During those years, Idaho resident individuals earning approximately $8,500 to $9,000 would be required to file an income tax return both under federal and state law. Grunsted is employed by a Hayden Lake software business, where he has been since 1997.

Question: Do you think he can get legislative immunity?
