BALTIMORE (CN) Maryland’s highest court snuffed a legal battle Monday from Clear Channel, which painted Baltimore’s new tax ordinance on billboard advertising as an issue of free speech and freedom of the press.
Judge Robert N. McDonald wrote the 6-1 lead opinion for the Maryland Court of Appeals, holding that the “power to tax is a necessary and essential power of government.”
The dispute actually started almost a decade ago when Clear Channel filed suit in 2013 over the ordinance in federal court. That court sided with the city after finding it lacked jurisdiction over the matter.
