Attorney General Ellison leads bipartisan coalition urging U.S. Supreme Court to rein in expansive municipal taxpayer standing

These cuts are the latest in a long series of efforts to go around the law to punish Minnesotans — but just as we fought back and won when they illegally tried to cut funding for childcare, hungry families, and our schools, we are suing them again today to make them follow the law,” Attorney General Ellison said.
