The opinion
MEANS, Presiding Judge,
dissenting.
I agree with the trial judge. First, OPEA is not a “citizen” as contemplated by the provisions of 74 O.S.Supp.1990 § 840.-14; second, OPEA does not have the requisite standing to raise another’s legal rights, Allen v. Wright, 468 U.S. 737 , 104 S.Ct. 3315 , 82 L.Ed.2d 556 (1984), and bring another’s declaratory judgment action. OPEA is not an aggrieved party and thus lacks standing to challenge the validity of the questioned decisions. Democratic Par *180 ty of Okla. v. Estep, 652 P.2d 271 (Okla.1982).
I would affirm the summary judgment of the trial court.
