“The (District Court) opinion is a pretty straightforward statutory opinion. I think it’s going to be tough to convince the Supreme Court to take a different approach, but there’s certainly a chance they would interpret (the statute) differently. The question is does the city want to get a fresh start out of this? Does the new leadership want to take a new approach?” Professor Garcia said in the article about how the City of North Las Vegas will cover $25 million due in back pay to the city’s public safety unions.
