JUSTICE ROVIRA
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent.
I subscribe to the analysis of Judge Berman in his dissent in Dayhoff v. Colorado Motor Vehicle Division, 42 Colo. App. 91, 595 P.2d 1051 (1979), and to the majority opinion in McCoy v. Colorado Motor Vehicle Division, 42 Colo. App. 267, 595 P.2d 706 (1979), and little would be gained by restating that which has been well said.
In my view, legislative intent can best be ascertained by a close reading of the words of the statute, and where there is apparent conflict between two statutes, construction should go in the direction of public interest.
