Arizona Supreme Court

William R. Cheatham and Marcus Huey, Plaintiffs/appellees v. Sal Diciccio in His Official Capacit — Timmer, J…

September 13, 2016240 Ariz. 314

Summary

Justice Timmer, joined by Justice Brutinel, dissented from the decision permitting the City to fund police-union release time under a collective bargaining agreement. The dissent would conclude that the release time primarily subsidized the union, served no sufficient public purpose, and lacked adequate consideration under the Gift Clause. The dissent would therefore uphold the trial court's injunction.
