CONCURRING OPINION

CHIEF JUSTICE SAYLOR DECIDED: December 28, 2018

In terms of plain meaning, I believe the Superior Court’s interpretation is

reasonable in light of the two-year statutory lookback period. Nevertheless, I also find

sufficient ambiguity to apply the principles of statutory construction, and on that basis I

concur in the result.

Justice Dougherty joins this concurring opinion.
