1Opinion of the Court
FLAHERTY, Senior Judge.
The County of Northampton (County) appeals from an order of the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED or Department) which disapproved the application for the issuance of debt by the County. The issue raised is whether DCED has authority to go beyond an examination of the documents evidencing the bond proceedings filed with it by a local unit of government seeking approval of a bond issue by conducting a hearing to determine whether the local unit obtained realistic cost estimates even though no question of fraud is raised. We reverse.
