The N.C. Supreme Court has thrown out an appeal in a case challenging tax incentives offered to entice Google to come to North Carolina. The specific appeal dealt with taxpayers’ standing to challenge the incentives.
In an unsigned opinion, justices agreed that a discretionary review of a unanimous Appeals Court ruling in the case was “improvidently allowed.”
Thus the appellate ruling stands in favor of the state and against plaintiffs including 2008 Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Michael Munger and state Libertarian leader Barbara Howe.
