Court Upholds Edison Firm In Tax Action
In Yuma, Superior Judge Henry C. Kelly upheld Arizona Edison in a suit against the state tax commission. The company sought 4626.17 in taxes paid under protest, objecting to valuation increases from 470,420 to 670,420 and to 16 cents of the state levy deemed duplicative of social security funding. The decision grants judgment as prayed for and marks a victory for the utility against contested valuation and levy legality.
