if you consider this power implied, then why not spell
it out in this article like much of the rest is spelled
out.
DELEGATE MOSER: The answer. Delegate Kirkland,
is it is not implied. This is explicit. Provided in
7.07,relates to existing powers.
I said three times now I think in answer to a
series of questions, I do not really know how we can make
it any clearer, that what is intended here is to continue
all existing powers for municipal corporations, including
the power to amend the charter, but, this is the only
but, if General Assembly wants to change the law they
can change the law. That is all.
Within that framework this is what it means.
They retain subiect to control of the General Assembly the
power to anend their charters whether or not their
charters now give them the right to do that. I specify
Section 3 of Article ll(e)of the present Constitution
which it is intended will be continued. That specifically
gives the power to municipalities to amend charters.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Sickles.
