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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The power to change or modify municipal boundaries is a legislative function, and as long as the statutory process is complied with, the Courts will not generally interfere with the legislative prerogative, even though a person’s property may become subject to a different jurisdiction, may be subject to different rules, obligations, or assessments. [Freeman v. Cen- terville City, et al., Utah, 600 P.2d 1003 (1979).]”
