Most-quoted passages
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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“•‘The power to determine whether the bonds should be issued and the tax levied and collected is vested absolutely in the voters of the district, but when this power has been exercised, the actual issuance of the bonds, and the levy, assessment, and collection of the taxes, shall be done in such manner as the Legislature may authorize, and this provision of the Constitution cannot be construed as prohibiting the Legislature from placing upon the commissioners’ court the duty to issue the bonds and levy, assess, and collect the taxes authorized by the voters of the district.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. David v. Timon“Said district lies partly on the Eastern bank of the Colorado River, and that by reason of the impediments to the flow of the water through the channel of the Colorado River, said territory was constantly menaced by overflow, and, unless some adequate means of protection be provided, the whole or greater part of said territory would be practically useless for agricultural purposes; that by the creation and maintenance of a levee along the Western boundary of such district, the greater part of such territory would be rendered susceptible to cultivation.”
