Moore Seeks Intervention in Budget Amendment Case
Moore argues for intervention in a high profile budget dispute while governor, claiming direct impact on his official powers and equal protection rights. Carrigan notes readiness to support motions including a continuance. Chaney questions direct intervention under court rules. The dispute centers on how the Modern Budget Amendment constrains or enlarges gubernatorial authority and actions taken April 24 on a nearly $500 million budget.
