Supreme Court revives challenge to Baltimore booze ad ban
The Supreme Court orders a renewed review of Baltimore's billboard ban on alcohol ads. The court cited a Rhode Island decision expanding protections for advertisers and sent the case back to the 4th U.S. Circuit to reconsider in light of that ruling. Penn Advertising Inc and Anheuser-Busch challenge the ordinance as targeting youth and overstepping First Amendment protections.

AOPA pushes Congress to reinstate aviation taxes
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association urged Congress to restore the aviation excise taxes funding the FAA trust fund before it runs dry. The taxes, including a 10 percent domestic ticket levy and a penny per gallon fuel tax, expire without renewal, risking bankruptcy of the fund by year end. Morningstar cited about $6 billion in the fund on Jan 1 and a monthly drawdown of roughly $500 million.
