Concurring and Dissenting Opinion by
Judge FRIEDMAN.
I agree with the majority that the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County (trial court) properly dismissed the section 1983 claim filed by Henrietta Beattie, Gertrude Ellis, Karen Rummel, Sandra Walls, Kenneth Pierce and Mon Valley Unemployed Committee (together, Taxpayers) against Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, James Roddey, its Chief Executive, and Manatron, Inc. However, for many of the reasons stated in Kowenhoven v. County of Allegheny, 847 A.2d 172 (Pa.Cmwlth.2004) (Friedman, J., concurring and dissenting), I do not agree that the trial court properly dismissed Taxpayers’ equitable claims on grounds that Taxpayers have an adequate legal remedy.
