Supreme Court Rules In Tests Tax Case For N C Counties
The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled on two appeals from Durham and Duplin counties challenging the 1931 Local Government Act that allowed emergency tax anticipation notes. The decision centers on whether counties may fund general deficits with notes and if such bonds count as a special purpose under the constitution. Chief Justice Stacy delivered a unanimous opinion noting the act may not convert general notes into special purpose financing and stressing the constitution remains the shield for citizens. The ruling suggests about 20 counties could be affected, with implications for county credit and note repayment.
