Wright, J.,
concurring in part, and in part dissenting.
I concur with the majority in its holding that 1991 Neb. Laws, L.B. 795, § 6, is not special legislation and, consequently, does not violate article III, § 18, of the Nebraska Constitution. I also concur in the majority’s holding that the Equal Protection Clauses of the Nebraska and U.S. Constitutions are not applicable to acts of a state against its own political subdivisions.
I respectfully dissent from the majority’s opinion that L.B. 795, § 6, is unconstitutional. The question of whether L.B. 795, § 6, violates article III, § 24, of the Nebraska Constitution is not before this court. The parties did not raise this argument, and the district court did not rule on it. Consequently, I express no opinion on the subject.
