What the tribe filed with the Idaho Supreme Court today…
Here’s a link to the 23-page Petition for Writ of Mandamus the Coeur d’Alene Tribe filed with the Idaho Supreme Court today, asking the justices to order Secretary of State Lawerence Denney to certify the instant racing repeal bill into law. In addition to asking the court to order Denney to act, the petition requests attorney fees and costs. You can read the tribe’s brief here, which lays out its legal arguments. In an additional Motion for Expedited Briefing and Hearing here, the tribe requests the court ask the state to reply by June 11, with the tribe filing its response by June 18, and the justices setting a hearing the week of June 22. That would allow the matter to be settled before July 1 – the date SB 1011, the repeal bill, was supposed to take effect.
