N.C. Supreme Court Democrats order forced money transfer for Leandro spending
The N.C. Supreme Court is ordering state government officials to transfer what is likely to be hundreds of millions of dollars out of the state’s treasury to fund a court-ordered education plan. In a 4-3 party-line vote, the court’s Democratic justices overruled Republican colleagues and rejected Republican lawmakers’ arguments in the long-running Leandro case. GOP lawmakers had argued that a forced money transfer would violate the state constitution’s separation of powers.
