Supreme Court V Pholos 1 Program Ruling
The North Dakota Supreme Court, by a 4 to 1 vote, upheld the indus trial program and the bond issue. The test case, started by five Burleigh County citizens, moved from district court to Burleigh County and then to the state supreme court. Justice Christianson dissented, saying the constitutional amendment authorizing the industrial program was not legally adopted. The action is viewed by some as a Texas-style suit to hasten the program’s legality, echoing a related tax payers suit before the U S Supreme Court.
