Presumption about Special Statute and General Statutes

"The Supreme Court repeatedly has affirmed that  it  is  a presumption  of statutory  construction  that,   where  both general  and  specific   statutes  appear  to address  a   matter,  the General  Assembly intends the  specific statute to  control the subject."
