Is it a Fee or a Tax?

The case involves illegally collected money by a municipality. However, whether the money collected is determined to be a fee or a tax must be determined before the case can move forward. That's because, the procedural requirements and the legal analysis are different between fees and taxes.

In a motion filed today, the Shanahan Legal Team has asked Judge Charles J. Doneghy to decide whether the money collected by the City of Toledo is a fee or a tax. To view the motion click here.
