The opinion

I 44 WINCHESTER, J.,

Concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I concur in Part I. I dissent to Part II because the parents have standing as taxpayers. I dissent to Part III. The provisions to the final agreement in the management contract provide for such control by DHS that the managing company could not even be considered an independent contractor.
