Where will the money come from for the school system to fight this law suit? Will it be money they already have in their budget, will it come from the county, state????

It will come from the taxpayers, one way or the other.

How much do you think it will cost the rest of the county to fight it? I'm really tempted to start sending some emails/letters to national media, I am so tired of this.

Half as much as it costs the people who reside inside St. Paul since they are paying for it twice.

Doesn't the county have a lawyer on retainer all the time to take care of any kind of legal stuff like this and thus really wouldn't cost any more than what they already pay. The only extra expense could be court costs which would all be put on SP as the foreseeable loser.

That should be correct. The SB should have one on retainer. In Scott County the current super is also the lawyer on retainer. Of course sinced he is stepping down as super only 6 months in, one of them he says is health issues, he isn't giving up the lawyer gig....
