With $50 million a year in county revenues on the line, the U.S. Supreme Court said Tuesday that it will hear a challenge to a Maryland court's ruling that some taxes on out-of-state income are collected in violation of the Constitution.
The Maryland Attorney General's office asked the Supreme Court to weigh in, arguing the Maryland Court of Appeals ruling would make state's tax system unfair.

The U.S. Solicitor General, invited to file a brief in on the case, supported Maryland's position. The justices granted Maryland's request to hear the case Tuesday in a single line order.
