dissent opinion

Lundberg Stratton, J.,

dissenting. I did not agree with the majority’s decision to grant a writ of mandamus because I believed that the relator had an adequate remedy in the ordinary course of the law under R.C. 121.22(I)(1). See State ex rel. Long v. Cardington Village Council (2001), 92 Ohio St.3d 54, 61-63, 748 N.E.2d 58, 65-67 (Lundberg Stratton, J., dissenting). Consequently, I do not agree that she is entitled to recover her costs and attorney fees. Therefore, I must respectfully dissent.
