[GRAPHIC=Shelor/Montgomery County Tax Dispute]

A big victory for a major car dealer .. a major hit to Montgomery County's tax rolls.
The Supreme Court of Virginia has reversed a lower court... and ruled in favor of the Shelor Automotive Group in its long- running dispute with the county.
[Double Boxes=Keith & Rachel/Microwave]

NEWS 7's New River Valley Bureau Chief Rachael Cannon has details of the decision and some idea of what it means.

Keith, Shelor Automotive Group has essentially found a legal way to get around the county's merchants' tax.
[Live=Rachel Full/Microwave]
[SUPER=@Rachel1;]
[SUPER=05-Christiansburg;]

Here's how they did it, they took their car inventory, which is the property that the tax in question is based on, out of Montgomery County.
So when the county's January first "tax day" on that inventory came, none of it was physically there.
The State Supreme Court says, according to code, it has to be to, in order to be taxed.

As we reported earlier, the Atlanta Falcons now have the first pick in the NFL draft. This means that Michael Vick will go to Atlanta, not San Diego, IF the Falcons take him number one. In exchange for the first pick, the Chargers will get the Falcons first round pick, Atlanta's fifth overall, their third pick, their second round draft pick in the 2002 draft and wide receiver Tim Dwight. A few weeks ago, Vick and the Chargers acted as though Vick was their guy.

In visits to Blacksburg over the last few weeks, the Chargers watched Vick work out for them and praised his abilities on the field and complimented him a s a person. But the snag seems to have come when Vick's agents asked for a signing bonus in the neighborhood of 15 million and a contract evidently to high for the Chargers who were burned by their last top draft pick at quarterback, Ryan Leaf.
