WILLIAMS, Senior District Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the result set forth in Judge Clay’s opinion. I write separately to say that I believe that this opinion correctly follows the rules of statutory interpretation. Also, I agree with the opinion of the Seventh Circuit in Howard v. City of Springfield, 274 F.3d 1141 (7th Cir.2001). I am of the opinion that the fourth, fifth and sixth paragraphs of the Substantive History section of this opinion have no application in this case and, at most, are dictum, in which I do not concur.
With regard to Judge Siler’s dissenting opinion, his position has merit. However, if the law is to be corrected it should be done so by Congress or the administrative agency and not by the Court.
