The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The Dade County Home Rule Amendment to the Florida Constitution, Section 11, Article VIII, F.S.A., authorized the electors of Dade County to adopt a Home Rule Charter which would empower the Board of County Commissioners of such County to `do everything necessary to carry on a central metropolitan government in Dade County.' By such constitutional amendment it was also provided, among others, that such Charter `may provide a method by which any and all of the functions or powers of any municipal corporation * * * may be transferred to the Board of County Commissioners of Dade County.' "Pursuant to such constitutional authority, the Home Rule Charter adopted by the electors of Dade County authorized the Board of County Commissioners to `provide and regulate * * * waste and sewage collection and disposal and water supply and conservation programs,' Section 1.01A(9), and to have `all implied powers necessary and proper to carrying out such powers * * *.' Section 1.01B. In addition, the Board is expressly authorized to `exercise all powers and privileges granted to municipalities, counties and county officers by the Constitution and laws of the state, and all powers not prohibited by the Constitution or by this Charter.' Section 1.01A(21)."”
