Justice Mitchell
dissenting.
For reasons fully explained in my dissent from the previous decision and opinion of the majority of this Court in this case, I continue to believe that Davis v. Michigan Dept. of Treasury, 489 U.S. 803, 103 L. Ed. 2d 891 (1989) is fully retroactive and that the taxpayer-plaintiffs are entitled to its benefits. Swanson v. State of North Carolina, 329 N.C. 576, 586-89, 407 S.E.2d 791, 796-97 (1991) (Mitchell, J., dissenting, joined by Exum, C.J., and Frye, J.). For that reason, I continue to dissent from the result reached by the majority.
Justice FRYE joins in this dissenting opinion.
