Trib: But When Does Hart Pay?
At the Lewiston Tribune, opinionator Marty Trillhaase offers weekly Cheers & Jeers column:
CHEERS … to the Idaho Supreme Court. First it told scofflaw Hart to pay the $53,000 in back taxes he owes the state. That says nothing of the nearly $500,000 Hart owes the feds. Next, the Supreme Court said he wasn’t entitled to preferential treatment. Now it has told him to cough up another $10,000 for wasting everybody’s time with such a frivolous claim. The attorney general’s office sought the payment to cover what it cost to take Hart into court. Just one question for the Idaho justices:What makes you think he’s going to pay?/ Marty Trillhaase , Lewiston Tribune. Full Cheers & Jeers column here.
Question: Marty Trillhaase brings up a good point. When does state Rep. Phil Hart have to begin paying back overdue taxes? Is the Supreme Court ruling merely a suggestion? Or does it have teeth?
