Ind. Gov't. - More on: Lawsuit seeks to block closing of Silvercrest
On Jan. 4th the ILB quoted from a Louisville Courier Journal story "that a lawsuit has been filed by "a group of parents and the union representing state employees" to block closing of Silvercrest Children's Development Center in New Albany."
Douglass T. Davidoff (of the TRIB) reports that the hearing on the preliminary injunction is taking place today:
The case will be in Floyd County Superior Court starting at 9 a.m., but the judge is Cecile Blau of Clark County.Here is a copy of the amended complaint, urging in Count I that Silvercrest cannot close without legislative action, and in Count II that the Silvercrest Advisory Committee’s statutory role was usurped, and concluding:
The parents and AFSCME are represented by McMains & Lapointe of Indy with Frank Mattox as local counsel. The state is represented by Baker & Daniels. They also have local counsel, but I do not know the name.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request that the Court enter a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting Defendants from further implementing their plan to close Silvercrest Children’s Developmental Center.
