Uhls v. State

This is an action to determine the validity of Cheyennes proposed financing of the $25,000,000 Frontier Refining Project and the constitutionality of the act for industrial development projects, art. 8, ch. 112, S.L. of Wyoming 1965 (§§ 15.1-92 ? 15.1-100, W.S. 1957, Compiled 1965). To secure such determination, the state on the relation of the City of Cheyenne brought a mandamus action in the district court against the city clerk, seeking to compel execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement for acquisition of the Frontier Refining Project. In so doing, plaintiff sought a declaration of validity and constitutionality as to: (a) the mentioned act; (b) the Cheyenne ordinances, seeking under the act to authorize the Frontier Refining Project and to finance it by revenue bond sale; (c) the purchase agreement, the lease, and the mortgage; (d) the violation of art. 16, §§ 4, 5, 6, and art. 13, § 3, Wyoming Constitution, by the financing.
