Just a brief note to
share the good news that the Goldwater Institute has won another
courtroom victory for taxpayers. This morning, we received word from the
court that a law allowing school districts to spend bond money on
projects voters did not approve violates both the Arizona and U.S.
Constitutions. To wit, the law “essentially abrogates the voters’ rights
existing at the time of their bond vote, and by so doing, strikes a
blow to the election process and violates both the Arizona and Federal
Constitution under the contract clause.”
In
practical terms, this ruling means that governments must abide by the
rule of law and contracts, respecting voter rights. It also means the
legislature cannot pass laws to carve out exceptions to the rule of law.
Thank you for your support that makes the protection of liberty possible.
