Several weeks ago in our post titled Better Late Than Never, OpenCdA reported that the City of Coeur d’Alene had decided to suspend monthly collection of its stormwater fee. The Idaho Supreme Court had ruled in a Lewiston case that city’s stormwater fee was actually a constitutionally prohibited tax.
Now it is reported in a December 22, 2011, Idaho Press-Tribune news story that a group of Nampa property owners have filed a class-action lawsuit against the City of Nampa. According to the story, the plaintiffs “… seek to have Nampa’s ordinance declared invalid and require the city to refund all fees collected under the program.”
What do you think about the Nampa lawsuit? Is it applicable to Coeur d’Alene?
The city has to cover those PAID 3 months off per year per employee somehow.
