The decision upheld a trial court's partial summary judgment in favor of Liberty County, Georgia that determined Carolyn R. Brown was not entitled to money she claimed was owed her under local law. Brown had argued that a state statute governing tax commissioners' pay did not apply to her and was unconstitutionally vague.
