Court: Counties can't charge fees on developments

Thought there might be interest in this case on charging fees to developers to help pay for schools.

There's been talk here about a desire for developers to help pay for the burden of new students that come with the new homes being built.

Well, the court says 'No can do.' There is a caveat; the legislature can pass a law allowing counties to charge such fees.

What do you think?
