USA: State & Local Tax Top Stories of 2015Alex Baulf
2015 was notable in large part due to a series of decisions issued by state and federal courts which could pave the way for future resolution of several gray areas in state and local taxation. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court issued several major decisions impacting state and local taxes, including Obergefell v. Hodges and Comptroller of the Treasury v. Wynne. In Obergefell, the Court held that same-sex couples had the right to marry. States that did not recognize same-sex marriage prior to the decision issued guidance on filing returns after Obergefell. In Wynne, the Court determined that the failure of Maryland law to allow a credit against county personal income tax for Maryland residents for their pass-through income from an S corporation’s out-of-state activities that was taxed by other states was unconstitutional.

Merrifield Nursery Emergency Gravity Sewer ReplacementFairfax County
During a routine Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera inspection by Wastewater Collection Division (WCD), it was found that 45 linear feet of 8-inch asbestos reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) between MH-292 to MH-291 was within imminent danger of failing. The bottom of the RCP was missing within the 45 linear feet of repair and the pipe was on the verge of surcharging. After an immediate pre-construction meeting with Merrifield Nursery, it was agreed to work from 6pm-10am everyday of the week to avoid disruption and potentially placing patrons at risk during the biggest time of the year for Merrifield Garden Center. The contractor mobilized to the site and began the 20-foot excavation to replace 45 linear feet of broken gravity sewer. The project started on March 14th, 2022 and was substantially complete on March 23, 2022.
The Sully Basins Stormwater Pond Retrofits project was substantially completed on April 19, 2022. The project is located within the Cub Run watershed.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
