News Center 7 obtained a copy of the lawsuit, which outlines an argument over timing and scheduling.
In May 2013, voters who live within the Springfield City Schools District approved a nearly $14 million bond levy. According to the lawsuit, the tax collections to repay the bond were to run over a max of 12 years.
The auditor argues that the 12-year timeframe runs from 2014 through 2025 and wants to stop collection at the end of next year.

“Our argument is that 12 years is 12 years,” Dan Driscoll, Clark County Prosecutor, said. “And that’s what the voters approved and that’s what the school should be held to.”
