I was at a meeting last night and the county administrator basically said that the immunity clause of 175.60(21) doesn't add any immunity for governments because of their blanket immunity.
I am working on a presentation for the executive committee and basically want to prove him wrong.
If the immunity section wasn't intended to give extra immunity for government agencies, why are 2 agencies (bolded above) specifically called out? If they enjoyed this so called blanket immunity, sub part (a) wouldn't be necessary, right?
This give more credence, in my opinion, that the immunity in
applies to governments as well, in this case as building owners/lessors and employers.
What do you guys think?
