  The money -which is what these counties ultimately want to extract, isn't there. It doesn't 'grow on trees' in anywhere close to these amounts, especially when subsidies, cost shifting and externalities are taken into account  -which makes any lawsuit of this sort a lose/lose proposition for all involved.
  
  We're close to the third decade of the 21st Century. How long has it been since we've known that these counties (and their residents) would have to transition and take ultimately responsibility for their own lack of foresight, planning and investment?
  
  btw: PERS (who the same sorts promoting this love to bash) also involves a state promise -a deal made by a Republican legislature back in the 1990's to avoid paying a fair market wage to employees.
