Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Grand Council's project approval and credit decision for the Lenzburg central prison was subject to optional referendum.
Decisione estratta
The decision was not wrongly kept outside the referendum, because § 20 Abs. 1 StPO validly delegated final spending competence to the Grand Council for the extension of the Lenzburg prison complex.
Motivazione estratta
The court read the young statutory provision in light of wording and materials. Despite imperfect wording, the legislative intent clearly showed that the planned central prison was covered. The voters could understand the delegation as continuing the Grand Council's final competence for the Lenzburg prison expansion.
