DLD DYSART, J., CONCURS WITH REASONS
I concur with the result reached by the majority, however, I believe that plaintiffs have lodged a legality, rather than a correctness challenge. Here, the plaintiffs’ grievance is that Assessor Williams arbitrarily reduced the rates of some entities which, in turn, made plaintiffs’ ad valorem tax rates artificially high. Thus, I would affirm the trial court’s granting of defendant’s exception of prescription as well as the court’s denial of the remaining exceptions as moot.
