Supreme Court upholds veterans groups tax exempt lobby status
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that veterans organizations may lobby without losing tax exempt status, overturning a DC Circuit ruling. The decision protects about 22,200 veterans groups while affecting nearly 330,000 other charities, and targets Taxation With Representation, a public interest group formed in 1977. The court also dismissed a Trans-Alaska Pipeline cost- recovery bid, sided with Alabama teacher in a rights case, and left intact a ruling against Borden Inc over price effects in lemon juice markets.
