Uncertainty about the potential State Government Shutdown still looms. The County Board and County Staff are hopeful an agreement between the legislature and the governor on the FY 12-13 budget will be achieved.
We did learn today that MN Supreme Court Chief Justice, Lorie S. Gildea, in an email to judges and court employees said a petition filed in Ramsey District Court seeking continued funding for the courts (in the event their appropriation for FY12-13 is NOT approved by July 1) was granted. This court order enables the operation of the court system in Cook County and throughout MN.
