Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the municipality had standing to challenge the cantonal judgment based on municipal autonomy
Decisione estratta
The municipality could appeal because it invoked a possible infringement of its autonomy in a field that belongs to municipal autonomy in St. Gallen.
Motivazione estratta
For admissibility, it was enough that the municipality was affected as a public authority and alleged a violation of autonomy; whether autonomy actually existed or was violated was a merits question.
