Nation IN BRIEF : WASHINGTON, D.C. : Military Retirement Taxes Struck Down
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The U.S. Supreme Court barred states from taxing military retirement pay if they exempt the pensions of their own retired state and local government workers.

Left unanswered was whether states will have to refund such tax revenue to the veterans.
