The following excerpt is from Connerly v. State Personnel Bd., 112 Cal.Rptr.2d 5, 92 Cal.App.4th 16 (Cal. App. 2001):
because application of the challenged statutory schemes will produce potential plaintiffs with personal beneficial interests in the matter who will be entitled to pursue their own actions. However, "[n]umerous decisions have affirmed a taxpayer's standing to sue despite the existence of potential plaintiffs who might also have had standing to challenge the subject actions or statutes." (Van Atta v. Scott, supra, 27 Cal.3d at pp. 447-48, 166 Cal. Rptr. 149, 613 P.2d 210, fn. omitted.)
