Moore: Attribution and Income Realization
No full textIn the early 2000s, Charles and Kathleen Moore contributed 132,512 as taxable 2017 income and paid an additional $14,729 in tax. The Moores filed a claim for refund and later a lawsuit in federal district court. The district court entered judgment for the government in 2020. The Moores appealed to the Ninth Circuit, which affirmed the district court in 2022. The Moores sought a writ of certiorari from the Supreme Court, presenting the question: “Whether the Sixteenth Amendment authorizes Congress to tax unrealized sums without apportionment among the states,” and the Court granted certiorari in 2023. On June 20, 2024, the Supreme Court held that the MRT was constitutional. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the five-person majority opinion, which did not address whether the 16th Amendment authorizes Congress to tax unrealized sums without apportionment. Rather, the majority held that the 16th Amendment allowed Congress to attribute income realized by the CFC KisanKraft to the Moores, the 13 percent shareholders. The 7-2 decision included two concurring opinions and a dissenting opinion. This article examines the issues addressed by the Supreme Court in Moore.https://opus.govst.edu/fac/1113/thumbnail.jp

Policy Considerations for Golf Cart Transportation: Assessing Safety, Regulation, and Community Impact in Bradley, Illinois
No full textThe goal of this practical project is to determine whether introducing or expanding golf cart transportation in the Village of Bradley is feasible, beneficial to the community, and poses any hazards. The objective is to promote sustainable transportation options, increase mobility, and foster community ties for both locals and tourists.
The Village of Bradley seeks to determine whether a comparable program is feasible, publicly supported, and safe. This capstone explores three primary research questions: 1. Can golf carts function as a viable mode of local transport in Bradley? 2. How do residents perceive the risks, benefits, and desirability of a GC program?3. What administrative, legal, and operational structures are required for safe and effective implementation?
This practical project measures public opinion, demand, and willingness to engage in the program to ascertain the community\u27s interest and preparedness for golf cart transportation. Potential benefits will also be examined, including increased social interaction among locals, reduced automobile emissions that benefit the environment, and improved accessibility for individuals with mobility issues. Additionally, it assesses potential risks, including maintenance issues, safety concerns, and enforcement challenges, while identifying ways to mitigate them. Lastly, the assessment considers how the implementation of golf cart transportation aligns with Bradley\u27s long-term mobility goals and community involvement objectives, ensuring the project promotes connected neighborhoods and sustainable growth
