GOLDEN, Justice,
specially concurring.
I concur since Hoem appears controlling. Were that not so, I would prefer a more searching and rigorous examination of the equal protection issue, as well as the other constitutional issues raised. In the context of constitutional analysis, I find it difficult to argue with some of the principles set out by the Hoem dissenters.
*831Aside from the constitutional issues, I would also prefer that this court identify, explore, and try to resolve cértain concerns about “affected party” principles and standing doctrine in Wyoming jurisprudence. See Keiter, An Essay on Wyoming Constitutional Interpretation, 21 Land & Water L.Rev. 527, 538-41 (1986). This appeal presents a unique opportunity for such an analysis, but we do not seize it.
