MR. ENEY: If I understand them, Hal, you
|
|
2
|
can't take an average. You would say the average of the
|
|
3
|
populous counties or the average of the least populous
|
|
4
|
counties, but you can't put them all together.

MR. CLAGETT: If it is impossible to answer —
|
|
6
|
SENATOR HUGHES: It is. It depends on so many
|
|
7
|
different factors, not just the size of the counties; how
|
|
8
|
the delegation gets along with the senators, all kinds of
|
|
9
|
entanglements.

DELEGATE HANDEL: Where it interferes with the
|
|
11
|
operation of the legislature is the fact that these
|
|
12
|
fellows from the local delegation, Prince George's County
|
|
13
|
and Baltimore City, where they do have some local prob-
|
|
14
|
lems, when they are meeting, they are taken away from the
|
|
15
|
major committees that they are on and that are also
|
|
16
|
meeting. They can't attend both. So, it interferes with
|
|
17
|
their ability to attend the other committee meeting or,
|
|
18
|
if not, then they have got to meet at odd hours.
|
|
19
|
When I say they meet at 11 o'clock at night,
|
|
20
|
I wasn't kidding. We adjourn the House at 10:30, and then
|
|
21
|
have a delegation meeting starting at 11 o'clock at night
|
