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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Unlike the Pockrus case where the issue was the constitutionality of a five-year reassessment plan, here the issue is the tax itself, which allegedly exceeds constitutional limits, because a rollback has not been accomplished by the school district. See Greedup v. Franklin County, supra . See also Foster v. Jefferson County Quorum Court, supra . We conclude that a valid claim for an illegal exaction has been raised. Barker, 327 Ark. at 600 , 939 S.W.2d at 842 . Though in the instant case, a countywide increase as opposed to a school district millage is contested, the issue is the samethe illegality of the portion of the tax which exceeds the constitutionally mandated rollback.”
