Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services PHOENIX — Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed legislation that would let parents sue schools but escape having to pay legal fees if they lose. It would only promote more litigation,"no matter how frivolous," she said.
His legislation sought to create a carve-out when the lawsuit is brought by a parent against a school district for violating any provision in the Parents' Bill of Rights. "This is actually a David and Goliath bill,'' Kavanagh said."The school has unlimited resources and a parent may have no resources. So, there's quite a chilling effect knowing that when you go up against a barrage of well-funded lawyers and you can't prevail, you might also take a very big monetary hit.''
Hobbs found the measure unacceptable."This bill does not protect parents' rights but merely encourages litigation — no matter how frivolous — without consequences,'' she wrote."Across the county and here in Arizona, schools and teachers have been maligned by bad actors who spread baseless theories, seeking to create conflict with teachers, school boards, and administrators,'' Hobbs said.
Good for the governor! If you sue and lose, you should have to pay not only your own lawyer's fees but the fees of the person or entity you sued. And increasing the penalties does NOTHING to reduce the availability of illicit drugs. We've had many failed 'wars on drugs.'
Hobbs is evil and cheated to get her position and needs to be removed. We moved here to get away from this in CA.
Just like the big guy, follow the money
recall Hobbs now!!!
She has to be profiting from these drugs which are killing people, and just considers them to be collateral damage. She's a traitor to America! Impeach her, NOW!!!!!!
