Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal appeal against the cantonal final judgment was admissible and the municipality had standing.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible in principle and the municipality had standing because it was affected in its sovereign financial interests.
Extrahierte Begründung
The challenged decision reduced an already granted equalization payment and ordered repayment to the state treasury, which qualified as a legally protected interest under Art. 89(1) BGG.
