      <![CDATA[Cracker, it would seem to me they are both the same, but diving into this legal stuff is usually a waste of time for me.  Better to get an educated opinion. It sure would be nice right now if Jackson Baker could do a Norris interview, part 3.<br>
<br>
Anyone know the identities of the third-party plaintiffs and the third-party defendants the judge has invited to weigh-in on this?

      <![CDATA[Just imagine if the Dems were still in control of the state legislature, would all this be going on? After all, wasn't this mess started in Nov. 2010 after the Repubs gained control of both state houses, and thus the push began for special school district status for SCSC?<br>

The other thing I think Mays has done is give the road map to the legislators for the potential flaws in the other laws. 905 was an enabling act.

      <![CDATA[That's how I see it, Cracker. Mays is giving them the chance to argue that it isn't the same thing, probably to reduce the chances of his decision being nullified on Appeal, since they might argue, had he issued a broader ruling, that they had only really presented on 905 and hadn't had a chance to argue on the other matters.

<br>
Chapter 970 amended § 6-58-112(b) and provides, in relevant part:<br>
<br>
From and after the effective date of the transfer of the administration of the schools in a special school district to the county board of education pursuant to § 49-2-502(b), the restrictions imposed by § 6-58-112(b)(1) on creation of municipal school districts no longer apply within such county.
