Supp. 2d 597 (M.D. Pa. 2012): by Caputo, J., granted the right to equal protection under Article I, Section 26, but rejected the allegation of interference with the right to worship under Article I, Section 3, because the Charter School sought to assert the constitutional rights of persons who were not plaintiffs in this dispute.

The petitioners sought to invalidate the ballots of millions of Pennsylvania voters who used mail-in voting procedures established by Act 77 of 2019. The petitioners suggested that only ballots that the petitioners considered “legal votes” should be counted, or that the 6.9 million Pennsylvanians who participated in the general election should be disqualified and that the General Assembly should elect Pennsylvania voters.

May 21, 2012) (No. 284 M.D.2012): According to Justice Quigley, the court dismissed two applications to intervene in a lawsuit that challenged the constitutionality of Bill 13 under the Pennsylvania Constitution.

As for the petition of members of the oil and gas industry, these interests, while having a legally enforceable interest in the form of land ownership and lease rights, have no bearing on the constitutionality of the law, and that interest is adequately represented by the Attorney General, whose job it is to defend the law.

Town of Allentown v.MSG Associates, 747 A.2d 1275 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2000): maintains a tax rate on services other than sales against objections to uniformity in accordance with Article VIII, Section 1. The Court expressly presided over Commonwealth v. Mercadante, 676 A.2d 1307 (Pa. Cmwlth.
1996). The requirement that all taxes on the same class of subjects be uniform is arguably the most important provision of the Pennsylvania Constitution. One of its consequences is that a progressive tax on state income is unconstitutional. Another consequence of the uniformity requirement is that there must be a constitutional power for the government to provide tax relief. Therefore, the many exemptions and deductions that the student knows from federal tax are at least suspect, if not unconstitutional, under the Pennsylvania Constitution. .
