SABERS, Justice
(dissenting).
I dissent for all the reasons stated in my dissent in Woodruff v. Meade County (Woodruff I), 522 N.W.2d 771 (S.D.1994). The basis of the circuit court’s decision under SDCL 7-8-30 was factual, and is entitled to due deference from this court. The circuit court decision was right then and still is. Woodruff I was wrong then and still is. Due process and equal protection of the laws require an affirmance of the circuit court, which is a reversal of Woodruff I on this petition for rehearing.
