Questão jurídica principal
Whether the municipalities had standing to appeal under Art. 89 BGG and municipality autonomy
Decisão extraída
The autonomy-based complaint was inadmissible, but the municipalities had standing under Art. 89(1) BGG because the financial burden affected central public interests in a qualified way.
Fundamentação extraída
The dispute concerned substantial and precedent-setting financial obligations for all municipalities and the canton; however, no concrete autonomous sphere in this matter was shown or apparent.
