respect to the other.
They have the job of reapportioning themselves
and properly so. They have the job of policing themselves.
They have the job of trying to create that which they
started to create last year under a reapportioned
legislature.
It was our feeling in the legislative branch
that we were trying to strengthen the legislature of the
State of Maryland. I do not believe you can strengthen it at
the expense of either branch. To suggest as the proposal does
that we eliminate a few senators and a great many delegates
does nothing toward strengthening the legislature.
THE CHAIRMAN: The time has expired. Time for de-
bate having expired, the question arises upon the adoption
of the first portion of Amendment No. 5 to Committee
Recommendation LB-1, the first portion being lines 8 to 17
and the first two words of line 18. A vote aye is a vote
in favor of the adoption of that portion of the amendment,
a vote no, a vote against. Cast your votes.
(Roll call)
THE CHAIRMAN: Have all delegates voted? |
