HART: Repayment comes up short

Sorry, Phil Hart, your making a partial payment on a 15-year-old debt is too little too late. I still won't vote for you even though you are the only name on the ballot just as a show of protest. You may be making back payments on the federal and state liens for refusing to pay your share of income taxes over the years, but everything you say still sounds like you are not sincere about it.

Another reason not to vote for Hart is to send a message to the gutless Republican Party of this state for standing by him and not removing him earlier from his position on the Taxation Committee (as he set the taxes for the rest of us) and most of all, for not insisting he resign from the legislature altogether. You won't even clean up your own House for the good of the state? Shame on all of you.
