Supreme Court: No More Legislative 'Logrolling'

The state Supreme Court today warned state lawmakers not to appropriate money for more than one project in a single bill.

The ruling came in a lawsuit challenging $140 million appropriated last year for multiple projects. The court didn't block the money from being used as appropriated.

The court said the practice known as "logrolling "violates the state Constitution and says it won't hesitate to block such legislation in the future.

The ruling came in a lawsuit filed by Oklahoma City attorney who argued that money for each project should've been in separate bills.
