by Joshua on May 24, 2010

According to Bloomberg Businessweek, the United States Supreme Court will review the constitutionality of an Arizona tax credit for donations to organizations that provide scholarships at private schools. The case is Garriot v. Winn, 09-991:

The justices will review a federal appeals court decision that let a group of taxpayers press ahead with their challenge to the Arizona program, which has been in effect since 1997.

The taxpayers say the program uses religious organizations to award scholarships and lets those groups require that recipients enroll in sectarian schools.
