Law Professor Plans Appeal of NY Ruling on Remote Work Tax

A New York law professor said he will continue to pursue his legal challenge to the state’s taxation of remote workers, keeping alive a case closely monitored by lawmakers in neighboring states who are seeking to weaken or kill the statute.
