Supreme Court Denies Cert in EchoStar/Dish Appeal of Florida Tax

The Supreme Court on Monday denied a petition for a writ of certiorari from EchoStar/Dish Network in its fight with Florida over the state's communications services tax. The petitioners appealed a Florida Supreme Court decision last year rejecting a 2005 lawsuit alleging the tax violates the Commerce Clause (see 1711280001). Dish didn't comment.
