This is an appeal (1) from an order of the Supreme Court at Special Term, entered January 13, 1970 in Albany County, which granted respondents’ motion to dismiss the petition, and (2) from the judgment entered thereon.
This is an article 78 proceeding brought by appellants, three New York State Assemblymen, who contend that certain portions of the appropriation bills submitted by the Governor of New York and enacted into law by the New York State Legislature in 1969, violate article VII of the New York Constitution. They seek judgment preventing respondents from expending further moneys.
