Va. S. Ct. decision striking down regional transportation authorities (Marshall v. NVTA): it's all about --
* non-delegation
* careful monitoring of the power to tax
* democratic accountability, esp. where taxing is concerned
Got to L-O-O-O-O-V-E IT!
(The other part of the decision -- finding no constitutional flaw re the "single subject rule" -- was also correct and well reasoned: classic Hamiltonian/Marshallian "let the ends be legitimate" kind of thing.)
