The resort says it cost $9,000 to replace the seat covers.

U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge ruled last week that Hart, a Republican from Athol, was still the true owner of the log home and that his attempt to transfer the property to a trust was ineffective. The judge also said Hart couldn’t claim a “head of household” tax exemption because he had no dependents at the time.
