Village of Burnsvi~le v. Onischuk, 222 N.W.2d 523, 531 (Minn. 1974), <br /> - <br />quoting from San Antonio Schoo~ District v. Rodri~uez, 911 U.S. 1, <br /> <br />40, 93 S. Ct. 1278, 1300 (1973). <br /> <br /> There are no facts in dispute that are material to the <br />determination of the legal issue presented to the Court by <br />plaintiffs' challenge to the local government aid law. The <br />statutory formula creates reasonable classifications that are <br />rationally related to legitimate governmental purposes. Plaintiffs <br />cannot demonstrate that the legislature's solution to the difficult <br />and complex problem of distributing state funds to communities as <br />property tax relief is totally arbitrary and irrational, much less a <br />hostile and oppressive discrimination. Accordingly, plaintiffs' <br />equal protection challenge should be rejected and defendants' motion <br /> <br />for summary judgment should be granted. <br /> <br />Dated: November 9 , 1983. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> HUBERT H.
