    DISSENTING OPINION
    (by
    D.
    Anderson):
    I agree that the Board in general has authority to
    decide constitutional issues which arise
    in cases before it.
    However,
    the Board should not address the constitutionality
    of the statute which created it, or any statute which limits
    its jurisdiction.
    Rather,
    the Board should apply the letter
    of the law, which in this case clearly calls
    for dismissal.
    The Attorney General should have gone into Circuit Court for
    a declaration that P,A.
    82-654
    is unconstitutional.
    I
    therefore respectfully dissent.

    Control Board,
