Description
In this case we return to our continuing struggle to define the perimeters of the Hancock Amendment and particularly of Article X, Section 22(a) of the Missouri Constitution. The specific issue is whether the respondent may raise its sewer charges without approval of district voters. The trial court held that respondent could raise its charges without a vote, relying principally on this Courts recent decision in Keller v. Marion County Ambulance District, 820 S.W.2d 301 (Mo. banc 1991). A divided panel of the court of appeals reversed the judgment of the trial court and ordered respondent to submit its charges to the voters for approval. The court of appeals, en banc, ordered transfer of the case to this Court. We have jurisdiction, Mo. Const. art. V, § 10, and now reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the case with directions to enter an order declaring respondents charges subject to Article X, Section 22(a) of the Missouri Constitution.
