$8,000,000
 

The state budget contains $8,000,000 for outside lawyers to defend the state regarding lawsuits filed about laws that were recently passed. This does not include the cost of state lawyers.

Our tax dollars in action!

Since this is a political post, I cannot/will not respond to the subject.

The alternative is to let wacko's determine the State's direction.

:wave:

State lawyers can't handle the job?

Any idea how that compares to other states???

Probably not trial attorneys

You, of course, refer to those passing those recent laws...

I would also spend another $8M to educate our state lawyers so they can defend our state for years to come on the upcoming changes

Hmmmmmm
 

You just did....

And just what is a "wacko"?

Already have one of those.

All laws, federal, state, and local are increasingly being challenged in court for almost every reason imaginable-and some that are downright crazy. In short, we live in a litigious society. The government could pass No laws and still get sued. Many years ago, I worked for a corporation and we budgeted for lawsuits all the time.

That was a smart move. At least we’re prepared.

You mean the elected majority?
