Judge Green Rules on State Takeover

Title: Judge Green Rules on State Takeover
Description: Mike Milton and Jamala Rogers will appeal the decision made by the Honorable Daniel Green who ruled that the 2025 law that requires the City of St. Louis to give 25% of its general revenue to its police department by 2028 does not violate Missouri's constitution.
Judge Green also rejected the argument that the police board bill was an unconstitutional special law because it was written solely to apply to St. Louis but struck down the section of the law that gave lifetime health insurance to officers hired while the department was under control of the City.
