Heading: The Impact of State ex rel. Macy v. Board of County Commissioners [25]

Text: ¶ 11 For blanket validation of the contract in contest TCCJA's brief appears to rely on this court's failure to condemn in State ex rel. Macy a potentially asymmetrical regime imposable by the provisions of 19 O.S.1991 §§ 1401 et seq. (the County Budget Act). The act authorizes, but does not require, counties to opt for the creation of a budget board. ¶ 12 In the Art. 5 § 46 sense, Macy gave neither approval nor disapproval to the selective regime for creating a budget board form of county governance. No one in Macy challenged  on § 46 grounds  the potential for disuniform operation of the county budget board act. The impact of that act on the § 46 uniformity mandate was not pressed for resolution. It hence escaped the court's fundamental-law scrutiny.
