The opinion
FRIEDMAN, Judge,
concurring.
I cannot join the opinion of the majority because I believe that the issues discussed in Parts II through IV have not been raised. However, based on Parts I and V of the majority opinion and this court’s decision in Barczynski v. Department of Public Welfare, 727 A.2d 1222 (Pa.Cmwlth.1999), I concur in the result.
Judge PELLEGRINI joins in this concurring opinion.
