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 75 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]nterest and other income from investments of monies in any account shall be credited to that account except as otherwise provided by law. " A.R.S. § 8-1181(E) (emphasis added). [3] C ¶ 9 The State contends the emphasized language authorizes the legislature to reallocate investment and interest income by a simple majority enactment to the general fund. Thus, the State argues, the transfer of the $7 million to the general fund neither amends the voter-approved initiative nor diverts funds, and the supermajority provisions of Ariz. Const. art. 4, pt. 1, § 1(6)(C) and (D) do not apply. III ¶ 10 "Our primary objective in construing statutes adopted by initiative is to give effect to the intent of the electorate.”
