Contributing sentiments towards policy:
54% : Justices ruled they were taxes that must get legislative approval.45% : What concerns local governments the most isn't the main opinion by the justices, but a concurring opinion by Associate Justice John Kittredge, who wrote he understands local governments want to call the methods they use to raise revenue fees instead of taxes, but the courts can't tolerate letting them circumvent state law.
42% : "I believe today's decision sends a clear message that the courts will not uphold taxes masquerading as 'service or user fees,'" Kittredge wrote in his June 30 opinion.
