Michigan Rail Tax Case Heads to Supreme Court
The Michigan legislature created a state board to levy railroad taxes by valuing railroad property and applying a rate derived from the overall tax base. Railroads claim the plan violates republican government and due process while state officials argue taxation powers lie with the legislature. Court guidance could redefine representative taxation and Interstate Commerce Commission authority on rates.
