The Legislature has fixed the problem rather quickly, reconstituting the CCC to meet the law and give the governor more control. Oh, and the governor may get more appointments on other boards too. The appellate case is still going up to the Supreme Court to answer some questions, such as:
In addition, the state's highest court was asked to resolve any question about the more than 100,000 building permits the commission has granted -- or denied -- since its inception. Do these decisions stand as legally valid, or are they subject to legal challenges because they were made by a commission that was declared in violation of the Constitution?
Isn't that an advisory opinion, which is not allowed?
