## Opinion text

SHIELDS, Presiding Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the majority opinion on all issues. However, as to Issue One, in my opinion the majority's unstated rationale for holding Poindexter personally liable is the unavailability of the State v. Newbern good faith exception to a public official who financially personally benefits from the inappropriate expenditure, i.e., the public official is strictly liable. I concur in that rationale.
