Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard L. Harris, Caldwell, for appellants.

EISMANN, Chief Justice.

This is an appeal from a judgment holding that taxpayers of a political subdivision do not have standing to litigate whether the subdivision has incurred indebtedness or liability in violation of Article VIII, § 3, of the Idaho Constitution. We hold that the plaintiffs as taxpayers do have standing, but dismiss the appeal because the issue raised regarding the violation of the constitutional provision has become moot.
