The amount of money Arizona taxpayers have to spend to teach English will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The top Republican legislative leaders said Saturday that they want to take the legal dispute to the nation’s high court rather than make two changes to the two-year-old law — changes the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals indicated a day earlier likely would make the law constitutional.
The legal costs of continuing the 16-year-old legal battle would be far less than what Arizona will have to spend in additional funds if the provisions are removed, said Senate Majority Leader Thayer Verschoor, R-Gilbert.
