Toby Bogorff, Petitioner(s) v. Rick Scott

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court dismissed the petition seeking to invalidate the Governor’s veto of legislative appropriations intended to satisfy judgments for compensation of destroyed citrus trees. The concurring opinion notes that the petitioners have valid judgments and that the constitutional issue of the takings clause is ripe but not before the Court. The decision leaves the petitioners to pursue further relief in lower courts.
