The opinion

CRAWLEY, Judge,

dissenting.

Amendment 61, of the Constitution of Alabama 1901, did not supersede Amendment 25’s prohibition on preferential tax treatment of public employees; it merely superseded Amendment 25’s limitations on the use of income tax revenue. Therefore, the preferential tax treatment of public employees’ retirement income violates Amendment 25.
