sovereign immunity protects state agencies, counties, and cities. Sovereign immunity is meant to shield public agencies from endless lawsuits that could drain taxpayer dollars and gum up government operations.
Where is the corresponding protection from our out of control governments protecting citizens from "lawsuits that could drain taxpayer dollars and gum up" our lives? Just look at the lawfare against Trump.

She went through all that, and got $60k.
I’m just mentally comparing that to the paydays so many frivolous lawsuit filers get.

You see this is why people don't like the government and police.
The damage might have been necessary but you fix what you broke. And to the person on the thread who is going to whine about the poor taxpayers.... for the love of mike. Fifty thousand was not going to bankrupt the city, the police department or any other official entity and they spent five or six times that amount on lawyer bills.
It is not a hard concept, when you broke it you fix what you can for your innocent citizens.
And people will not loath you.

So the local government is essentially a dictatorship with infinite powers. “sovereign immunity” and “eminent domain” are proof of that. The Constitution doesn’t apply when government doesn’t want it to apply.

Seems like there should be a bigger payment for making her wait and go through 5 years in the courts!

The City of McKinney will appeal ... tying up this decision in the courts for years.

Sovereign immunity should NEVER apply to these situations

You can bet they didn’t give her any breaks on property tax during those years either.
