Federal court grants injunction against AAA processing tax
A three Judge federal panel in Minneapolis issued a temporary injunction blocking collection of the AAA processing tax for May and June while the case awaits merits at the September term. The ruling questions the act’s constitutionality and preserves tax collections in escrow pending final action. The decision names firms including General Mills Affiliate and Cannon Valley Milling Co among those protected, and also notes a Vatican appointment of Bishop Leech in Harrisburg.
