Lawyers for the state of Wyoming say a state court lacks the authority to grant more time to organizers of a petition drive seeking to restore power to the superintendent of public instruction. Instead, the state Attorney General's Office says a Laramie District Court judge should toss a lawsuit against Secretary of State Max Maxfield. The lawsuit claims Maxfield violated the rights of petition supporters by taking too long to provide them with petition forms. Petition sponsor Jennifer Young wants another 90 days to gather signatures challenging a new law that removed schools Superintendent Cindy Hill as head of the education department. Their petition drive this past spring fell well short of the signatures needed. No court date has been set for the case.
