10.27.15 by msedblog ROBERT WIYGUL: Initiative 42 would provide accountability Initiative 42 is a constitutional amendment to ensure adequate funding for public schools in Mississippi. The opponents claim that it is a “radical ploy to shift power from voters to judges.” The opponents make this claim because the amendment makes it clear that the adequate funding requirement would be enforceable by the state courts. This claim is absolutely baffling. I have been practicing law in federal and state courts for 30 years. Going to court to ensure that governmental bodies follow the law is as common as dirt. It happens every day in courts all over this country. Share this:EmailPrintFacebookLinkedInRedditTwitterGoogleTumblrPinterestPocket
