This is a serious problem in many places. The Los Angeles school system, for example, is on the verge of bankruptcy because of lawsuit payouts, because where’s the money going to come from? People don’t like their taxes raised. Legal liabilities, actual or potential, are raising the cost of other public services as well. And yet, you can’t make these agencies immune to lawsuits. I don’t have a solution, but if one isn’t found I fear for the future of (what’s left of) the social democratic state.
