Yes...
Christina Sarchio, the lead lawyer on the case for Howry, said the case could still go forward if the law firm finds plaintiffs who can show harm from the resolution.
Sarchio said the constitutionality of the resolution has yet to be tested.
“What the judge said from the bench ... was that he was granting the county’s motion to dismiss on standing grounds, but that the decision on the merits of the case is something to be left for another day,” Sarchio said.
...Obviously a lot of good lawyers thought this case should move forward, so it's not like various aspects weren't considered by the judge. I still argue that this is blatantly unconstitutional. There is nothing to prevent this from going forward in a few months when people are actually harmed by it.
