Ruling May Void Levy Raises Tax Doubts In Maryland
Maryland's Court of Appeals questioned the legality of Gov. O Conor's 6 percent levy on income from securities and estates while ruling a prior 1935 tax on such income invalid. The judges addressed whether the measure is a property tax and whether exemptions for judges or state employees could undermine state revenue.
