The five-member Executive Council, which approves state contracts and appointees to the courts and state agencies, rejected her request in less than three minutes, prompting the appeal to state Supreme Court.But the court dismissed the petition for lack of jurisdiction on Wednesday, saying that ordering the council to re...
