Commonwealthgreen2 sentences2004See also Gurnee, supra at 856 (1999) ("The fact that a statute ... is susceptible to more than one interpretation does not require a holding that the statute is unconstitutional if, as the circuit court determined, those who are affected by the statute can reasonably understand what the statute requires of them."); Sasaki v.
