The opinion
McCORMICK, Justice
(concurring specially).
Cogent arguments have been made in support of the majority and dissenting positions in this case. I join the majority because in cases as close as this one I believe the principle of giving weight to agency construction of the statute it administers is determinative.
UHLENHOPP, J., joins this special concurrence.
