Ritums v. Howell

This is an injunction action in which the plaintiff, as a representative of the property taxpayers of the City of Omaha, Nebraska, seeks to prevent the defendant, as treasurer of Douglas County, from collecting a tax to support the operation of Omaha’s municipal transit system.

The District Court refused to grant the injunction and upheld the statute. We affirm the judgment of the District Court.
