The Arizona Supreme Court on Tuesday hears arguments in an appeal of a lower court's ruling that requires the state Legislature to give schools an annual funding increase even in lean years to account for inflation.
The high court is reviewing a Court of Appeals decision. It said a voter-approved law requires the Legislature to provide an annual inflation adjustment for state funding to public schools.
School districts and education groups sued after the Legislature in 2010 instead only increased schools' transportation funding, eliminating a $61 million increase in general school spending.
The Supreme Court says it is considering is whether the Voter Protection Act allows voters to require the legislature to increase funding for schools.
The Voter Protection Act severely restricts the Legislature's to change voter-approved laws. |

The Law Offices of David Stein - Maryland Drug Lawyer

The state of Maryland has strict drug laws which make for complex drug cases. They criminalize use, possession and distribution of controlled and uncontrolled substances all the same. The punishments and fines are harsh and start from a minimum of one year in prison for any small measurable possession of simple narcotics to 25 or more years for distribution and possession of more serious narcotics and substances.
In addition, the Maryland drug laws even criminalize possession or purchase of uncontrolled substances if the person reasonably believes it is a controlled dangerous substance. The statute considers many things such as the packaging, appearance, and the amount in order to infer intent. For these it means you have committed a crime even when the substance turns out to be an uncontrolled (unregulated) substance.
Thus it is recommended to involve a tenacious and aggressive and experienced Maryland drug defense attorney thoroughly familiar with Maryland Drug Statutes to defend your rights and to fight back against the broad based unforgiving Maryland drug charges. |

Motorcycle accidents are very common and can be among some of the deadliest, simply because the driver is unprotected. Many people have started considering the option of riding motorcycles with the rise of gas prices. This form of transportation can save them money in the long haul and is also a fun way to get around. However, the risks for cyclists are high due to the lack of visibility on the road. Many times, automobiles involved in a motorcycle accident tend to blame the driver of the motorcycle due to the common stereotype of recklessness. If you have been injured due to someone else's mistake, you need to contact a personal injury attorney. McDonnell Law can represent you to help file a claim and establish your rights as a citizen.
