Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board v. Herren

This appeal raises questions with regard to the validity of contracts of employment extending over a term of several years between individual employees and an agency of local government. Appellant contends that such multi-year contracts offend the debt clause, art. VII, § 10, of the Virginia Constitution. Appellant raises further questions concerning damages for breach of such contracts. Appellees contend that such contracts fall within an exception to the application of the debt clause which authorizes long-term contracts for services.
