## Opinion text

T. M. Kavanagh, C. J.
(dissenting in part and concurring in part). For the reasons stated in my separate opinion in Carman v. Secretary of State (1971), 384 Mich 443 , we believe this case should *437 be dismissed with prejudice. However, the majority-opinion in Carman, supra, is for the present at least, the law in Michigan.
We agree that if Proposal C was properly submitted to the people and properly adopted, the opinion of Justice Williams correctly interprets our Constitution as amended and correctly applies the due process and equal protection clauses of the Federal Constitution.
T. G. Kavanagh, J., concurred with T. M. Kava-NAGH, C. J.
