COLINS, President Judge,
dissenting.
I must respectfully dissent. I would affirm the trial court’s opinion which would have allowed the public disclosure of those taxpayers who were delinquent.
I believe that Section 2 of the Right-to-Know Act, 65 P.S. § 66.2, provides the right to such inspection and release.
Since such public inspection and release is allowed by the Right-to-Know Act, no criminal sanctions would apply, as it would be a disclosure “as otherwise provided by law.” See Section 13(V)(f) of the Local Tax Enabling Act, 53 P.S. § 6913(V)(f).
