1Opinion of the CourtRudman, J.

[¶ 1] Kevin J. Collins appeals from the judgment entered in the Superior Court (Knox County, Marsano, J.) dismissing his declaratory judgment action seeking a declaration that 4 M.R.S.A. §§ 1606(2), 1610— A (Supp.1999) are violative of the Maine Constitution, article IX, section 14, 1 and enjoining the issuance of $85 million of bonds authorized by those Laws. On the motion of the State, the court dismissed the action with prejudice. We affirm the judgment. Collins lacks standing to assert his challenge.
