## Opinion text

JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge,
dissenting:
Despite the majority’s insistence that we do not trench upon a municipality’s right to determine — in the light of time and changed economics and municipal policies— changes in controlling policies, that is the effect of this decision. What happened years ago; how someone was treated years ago; what factors were thought significantly relevant years ago cannot be the measure against which to determine today’s decision. To hold otherwise is to deny life in which for children, for adults, for government, for society we learn from the past and, learning, adapt the lessons of the past to the future.
I therefore respectfully dissent.
