The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania granted a Petition for Allowance of Appeal in the case involving Edward M. Mazur, Jeffrey W. Bull, and the unincorporated association Citizens Against Tax Incremental Financing against various governmental entities including the Trinity Area School District, Washington County, and South Strabane Township. The appeal focuses on two key issues: 

1) The Court's jurisdiction to review municipal decisions that approve Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts funded by public resources.
2) The sufficiency of the plaintiffs' allegations that the defendants determined the existence of blight in bad faith, in relation to overcoming a demurrer.

The Court denied allocatur regarding all other issues raised in the petition. The order was issued on January 2, 2008.
