COUNTY: Monroe wins FAIR lawsuit
Published by Jeremy Moule on Dec 11, 2007
Suburban school districts lost their lawsuit against Monroe County. Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Fisher ruled that the county is within its rights to cut sales-tax allocations to schools. The county argued that it only has to distribute sales-tax revenue left over after the state took its cut under the Medicaid intercept plan. The districts, however, said the county has to base its allocations on the full amount of sales-tax revenue generated, not just what's left over after the intercept.
