Parties challenging Pawlenty’s unallotment filed their legal briefs today
Today is the deadline for the parties challenging Gov. Pawlenty's unallotment authority to file their legal briefs with the Minnesota Supreme Court. Pawlenty is appealing a ruling by a Ramsey County District Court judge that reinstated a nutrition program for low income Minnesotans. The judge said Pawlenty crossed the line regarding the separation of powers when he unilaterally cut $2.7 billion in spending last July.
Here's the brief from Legal Aid in support of the folks on the nutrition program.
