State Moves Prison Privatization Oral Arguments
May 16, 2012
The First District Court of Appeal has moved back by two weeks oral arguments in the state’s appeal of a prison privatization ruling.
The court will now hear the case at 9 a.m. on June 27, instead of the original time, 2 p.m. on June 13.
The state is appealing a ruling by Circuit Judge Jakie Fulford that struck down an privatization plan approved by the Legislature after the the Florida Police Benevolent Association sued to block the initiative. Fulford said lawmakers improperly folded the privatization plan into the fine print of the budget.
