What's beef? Beef is when a city sues another state over funds owed. Yesterday, attorney Dennis Herrera sued the state of Nevada for $500,000 on behalf of San Francisco and other counties in California for placing mental patients of Greyhound buses and relocating them to Cali.
Herrera filed a class action lawsuit for the unwanted patients, but the Nevada Attorney General's office has responded, claiming that Herrera doesn't have any evidence to support his allegations:
Nevada Chief Deputy Attorney General Linda] Anderson countered that Herrera has not provided “sufficient explanation of your legal theory or standing for the initiation of a lawsuit by you on behalf of the ‘affected California cities and counties.’ ”
Herrera argues that patients leaving California for Nevada under their own free will is a different situation than a Nevada hospital shipping patients to California upon discharge. He certainly has a point.
