Barber v. Ritter

Judge HAWTHORNE

concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I concur with parts II and III(D) of the majority opinion. I respectfully dissent from part III(C), in which the majority concludes that the Taxpayers have standing to challenge transfers from the special funds into the general fund.
