The Public Records law awards fees to a plaintiff who “substantially prevails” and a government defendant who is sued in bad faith or on a frivolous basis. The Open Meetings law awards fees to any party that “prevails.” These fee awards act as an incentive (or disincentive) for litigants to pursue these “open government” cases. Such awards are the exception to the general North Carolina rule that a party bears the burden of paying its own attorney’s fees. There is very limited appellate case law interpreting when a party should receive such an award of attorney’s fees. This limited case law is exacerbated by the recent modification of the plaintiffs’ fee-shifting provision in the Public Records law. While appellate treatment of this issue is limited, there is a larger body of trial court decisions and persuasive case law on point. There are also materially similar fee-shifting provisions elsewhere in the North Carolina General Statutes that can provide guidance on how North Carolina courts treat fee shifting. This Article examines these and other sources in pursuit of a better understanding of when a plaintiff or defendant in an open government case might expect to receive an award of attorney’s fees and, when appropriate, makes recommendations about how courts and practitioners should treat these provisions moving forward.","PeriodicalId":368113,"journal":{"name":"State & Local Government eJournal","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122277338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the ESA funding amount exceeds the school tuition level, families would be able to use these funds for other educational expenses such as tutoring, textbooks, educational therapy, online learning, and college costs. While this is may be viewed as obvious benefits to individual children and their families, the impacts on society overall are less clear.We estimate the impact of the proposed ESA on criminality from 2016 to 2035. We use crime reduction estimates from our previous study of the impact of the longest-standing private school voucher program in the United States, along with existing estimates of the social costs of misdemeanors and felonies, in order to monetize and forecast impacts for the ESA in Texas. We find that a universally-accessible ESA could have large benefits to the state of Texas through reduced crime over the first 20 years of the program. Specifically, we estimate that the first cohort of high school students to experience four years of a universal ESA program in Texas would produce 749 fewer felonies and misdemeanors by the time they become 22 years old, resulting in about $7 million in benefits to society by 2025. The cumulative social benefits would amount to $74 million by the end of 2030 and $194 million by the end of 2035.","PeriodicalId":368113,"journal":{"name":"State & Local Government eJournal","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123225222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper is the first to provide empirical evidence on the influence of local unfunded mandates by studying Florida’s 1990 constitutional Amendment 3, which sought to limit this power of the state. A synthetic control model is employed to derive the causal effects of the mandate limit on total state expenditures and state transfers to local governments. The results indicate that the additional barriers to imposing local mandates resulted in substantive changes to the fiscal structure of the state. First, state expenditures increased by an annual average of 9.5%. Second, while total state transfers to local governments are not altered, the mandate restrictions did impact which governments received transfers. Namely, the general purpose local governments protected by Amendment 3 saw 10% decreases in intergovernmental revenue from the state. The inference is that the mandate limit caused the state to take on new programs and spending that would otherwise have been shifted to the general purpose governments, and that remaining mandates were more likely to be directed at special districts.","PeriodicalId":368113,"journal":{"name":"State & Local Government eJournal","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126349449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
