Opinion
No. 65035.
May 27, 1983. Rehearing Denied June 30, 1983.
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT COUNTY.
ORDER
This matter is before us on appellants' motion to expedite their appeal from the judgment of the trial court that the one-cent increase in sales tax, Proposition C, is not included in the calculation of total state revenues under Article X, § 18, Mo.Const.
Because the first sentence of the Hancock Amendment, Article X, § 16, excludes those increases in taxes receiving voter approval from the limitations contained in § 18, and Proposition C received such approval, we take judicial notice that there is no justiciable controversy between the parties and dismiss the appeal.
All concur.
