Law Firm Opposes Outside Groups in Wisconsin State Assembly Funding Case
Law Forward, a legal firm, has filed a brief opposing the involvement of outside groups in a lawsuit against the Wisconsin State Assembly. The lawsuit, initiated by Law Forward in February, claims that the legislature has failed to adequately fund public schools. In response, Republican legislators have filed a motion to dismiss the case, labeling it as 'meritless' and citing a previous Wisconsin Supreme Court case, Vincent vs. Voight, as having addressed the claims. The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, along with two out-of-state organizations, have filed motions to intervene, representing parents and private school organizations concerned about the impact on the Wisconsin Choice program. Law Forward argues that the case focuses on the state's constitutional obligation to fund public schools, not the private school voucher program.
