LANSING, MI –
The Michigan Supreme Court says a new law taxing public pensions does not violate the state Constitution.
The advisory opinion released Friday is a major victory for Gov. Rick Snyder, who signed the sweeping tax changes earlier this year. Employee unions were opposed.
State officials expect the law will generate as much as $330 million in 2013. The court found that only a portion of the law doesn't pass muster.
