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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The power of a municipality to enact and enforce any ordinance must be authorized by state statute. . . . Thus, a city may not pass legislation which conflicts, or is inconsistent, with state law. ... An ordinance may not permit or license that which a statute forbids or prohibits, and vice versa. . . . Where there is a direct conflict between an ordinance and a state statute, the statute is superior law. ... A city ordinance is inconsistent with a statute if it is contradictory in the sense that the two legislative provisions cannot coexist. . . . When an ordinance is inconsistent with statutory law, it is unenforceable.”
