GOVERNOR TAWES: I would rather not answer
|
|
2
|
that question, I would let the candidates answer that ques-
|
|
3
|
tion.
|
|

|
Now, under the present reapportionment planned,
|
|
5
|
the redistricting of the senatorial districts and so on, I
|
|
6
|
think that the law provides that in the event this Legis-
|
|
7
|
lature does not pass the redistricting provisions under
|
|
8
|
the reapportionment bill that we are going to be operating
|
|
9
|
under, then the Governor is required to set up the senatorial
|
|
10
|
districts in the areas.

MR. SAYRE: Well, if the Constitution --
|
|
12
|
GOVERNOR TAWES: I would have no objection to
|
|
13
|
doing that because you sit down with the people of. the
|
|
14
|
area, the Governor doesn't arbitrarily say, How, listen,
|
|
15
|
I am going to take the map and I will mark this out that
|
|
16
|
way. You are going to sit down and work it out with the
|
|
17
|
local people, with the local government.
|
|
18
|
MR. SAYRE: So that if the Constitution gave
|
|
19
|
you that authority, you don't see any reason to object to
|
|
20
|
that authority?
|
|
21
|
GOVERNOR TAWES: Hot particularly, no.
