Taxation Litigation
More fun with government units suing each other to prevent funding cuts, with a twist: this time it's
the courts themselves threatening to sue:
Chief Judge Kitty Brennan is telling Milwaukee County supervisors that they could face a lawsuit on court funding unless they restore judicial and court staffing that County Executive Scott Walker has pegged for elimination in 2006.
Perhaps I'm not really up on the Wisconsin constitution, but the way I thought it was supposed to work is
the legislature raises and allocates funds with some discretion to the
executive branch.
But I'm not a power-grabbing judge.
