municipalities any and all powers of the counties."
DELEGATE MOSER: That is right.
DELEGATE BURDETTE: But in 7.09, either
the General Assembly, 7.09, 24 and 25, or the
county by law may grant additional powers to municipal
corporations without any limit on those municipal corpora-
tions.
Right off I would say that would give a county
governing body power from the people to grant to the
municipal corporations almost anything it pleased, and
further the General Assembly couldn't withdraw it because
it specifies "the granting authority may withdraw such
power"; but perhaps I am misreading it.
DELEGATE MOSER: No, you may be misreading it.
I can only express our intention, which is simply this:
I think it is implicit the county can't give it any power
it doesn't have. I think this is fairly obvious, or at
least it seemed that way to us. But it is intended to
mean the same thing, that they can grant additional powers
which the county has to municipal corporations.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Burdette.
