Spencer, McCrory, Macy Sue NIC
Item: Taxpayers sue NIC: Claim DeArmond Mill lease is unconstitutional/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press
More Info: A trio of county taxpayers filed a lawsuit in First District Court Tuesday alleging that North Idaho College's lease of the former DeArmond Mill property is unconstitutional and should be voided. Co-plaintiffs Larry Spencer, Tom Macy and Bill McCrory claim in the court document that a July lease agreement between the college and the nonprofit North Idaho College Foundation violates the section of the Idaho Constitution that restricts the debt local taxing districts can take on. Before public entities in Idaho can legally incur long-term debt, projects must either win two-thirds voter approval or a judge's approval as ordinary and necessary expenses, according to the suit.
Question: What do you make of this lawsuit?
