Key legal question
Whether the Landrat's salary amendment required a second reading under the Glarus Constitution and parliamentary rules.
Extracted holding
The salary amendment was a generally binding legislative act and therefore subject to the constitutional requirement of a second reading; none took place.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the measure, despite being labeled a 'decision', was a self-standing ordinance-like normative act within the Landrat's rule-making competence. The second-reading requirement is a constitutional procedural rule, not a mere order rule, and its breach is a serious formal defect.
