Common Cause/Pennsylvania, Citizens Against New Toll Roads, Community Environmental Legal DefenseFund, and Zero Population Growth, Inc. (collectively, Petitioners) filed a nine-count petition forreview in the nature of a complaint in equity (petition for review) under this courts original jurisdiction. In the petition for review, Petitioners challenge the constitutionality of the procedures followed by the General Assembly in enacting Act 3 and seek both injunctive and declaratory relief. Preliminary objections to the petition for review were filed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Governor Thomas J. Ridge, Secretary of Revenue Robert A. Judge, Sr., and Secretary of TransportationBradley L. Mallory (collectively, Respondents). Preliminary objections to the petition for reviewwere also filed by Senator Robert C.
