ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 22nd day of July, 2024, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all

remaining issues. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

(1) Whether the Commonwealth Court’s majority opinion departed from this Court’s precedent in Minich v. Sharon, 77 A.2d 347 (Pa. 1951), and incorrectly interpreted the Pennsylvania Uniformity Clause to require exact uniformity in the ultimate destination of the tax revenue among residents and nonresidents, rather than “rough equality” in the overall tax burden.
