With attorneys for special-interest groups lining up on both sides of the question of whether the tax is constitutional, legislators predicted a costly court fight if the tax becomes law.
For example, it looks like the District Laborers' Union will be pushing for the proposed tax, though the union received an opinion that the tax is unconstitutional from one of its lawyers. Mr. Walters continues,
Similar taxes in other states have ended up in federal court.
It might be helpful to know how those cases came out. He apparently forgot to ask that follow-up question. The union's legal opinion says,
a case to deem the assessment unconstitutional would be strong.
