A little while back I referred to a lawsuit that is making its way through the state court system that might impact Lacey's new homeless ordinance. Tomorrow (sometime after 9a) the state Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case between Woodinville and Northshore United Church of Christ. A few years ago, Woodinville passed an ordinance restricting how churches can host homeless camps. Basically, the church is arguing that the city doesn't have any business telling them how they can practice religion as it relates to their helping the homeless. How the Supreme Court decides (at least I think this) will have a lot to do with whether Lacey is sued over their ordinance. The arguments will be live on TVW and I'll post them here after they're on the internet. Anyone know the typical turn-around on a state Supreme Court case?
