US Supreme Court hears sewer hookup assessment case

From the Indianapolis Star:

"The U.S. Supreme Court appeared split Wednesday over whether Indianapolis treated some homeowners fairly when it forgave the outstanding debt their neighbors owed for sewer hookups.
...

The homeowners argue that their constitutional right to be treated equally under the law was violated when they paid the full $9,278 for a sewer hookup while others in the same neighborhood, who chose to pay in installments, ended up paying only $309. The homeowners who paid in full want to be refunded the difference."
