Luna aide: ‘Anyone can sue anyone’

Rep. Linden Bateman, R-Idaho Falls, asked Luna aide Jason Hancock about a clause in SB 1108 that declares that employment under certain kinds of teacher contracts is "not a property right," and asked, "Can this be challenged in a court?" Hancock responded, "As far as the possibility of a lawsuit goes, this is America and anyone can sue anyone any time for any reason." He added that the wording in the bill "has all been vetted through attorneys and actually in most cases was written by the attorneys themselves."
