UKLEGATE BUSHONG; I was home in a county of
a little over 100,000 people this weekend and I talked to
many of them about the proposition of the Board of Public
Works, the Attorney General, the Comptroller and the
rights of the Governor which are already regardless in the
State of Maryland regardless of what we do here.
It was almost unanimous, they do not under-
stand why this Constitution wants to take away from the
people of this state the right to elect these elective
officials. They can't understand because it has been
going on in Maryland for years and years and certainly
the Board has performed well.
Nowe, we came down here to re-write the Con-
stitution and most of it that I have voted for so far is
pretty good, but I can't understand why you want to take
these legislative offices away from people. Now, what
are they going to say? You fellows went down there and
you did -- you took this away from us and you took that
away from us and you took this away from us. Is that
democracy?
I know you can use all kinds of reasons why
