A woman who has criticized the city of
Little Rock for years over its handling of land for the Clinton
Presidential Library has filed another lawsuit in the matter.
Nora Harris claims the city is illegally shifting tax revenues
into different accounts to pay off a 15 (m) million dollar debt on
the Clinton Presidential Park.
Harris filed the suit a day shy of a deadline set by the state
Supreme Court last year. She says the new filing includes evidence
the city shifting money -- evidence she says she didn`t have in her
original 2001 complaint.
The Supreme Court ruled last year that the city would be
violating the state Constitution if it were indirectly using tax
revenues to pay off bonds. But the court said Harris failed to
prove that was happening with the bonds Little Rock sold in 1998 to
purchase and maintain the 28 acres east of downtown where the
Clinton library is being built.
