Legislative Power to Reimburse Public Officials for Equity
The article discusses whether legislatures and municipalities may reimburse officials for losses or damages arising not from legal claims but from equity or justice. It cites Creighton v San Francisco and related cases to argue the state may appropriate funds for rightful indemnity or charity, even without enforceable legal claims. The piece notes Oregon and other jurisdictions uphold reimbursements, and while constitutional limits exist, the act in question is claimed to be a valid public purpose not violating contracts or taxation rules.
