THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone desire to speak?
DELEGATE MASON: Since I can't ask a question,
I would like to speak in fevor of the Board of Public Works.
I have to have the question resolved.
The Committee Report in Section 4.20 states tha:
"The head of each principal department of the executive
branch, including the chief legal officer and the chief
fiscal officer, shall be a single executive unless otherwise
provided by law."
It says, "When a board or commission is at the
head of a principal department a chief administrative officer
shall be provided for it by law."
THE CHAIRMAN: You have one-half minute.
DELEGATE MASON; In our discussions in the
committee is was agreed that all board and commissions
as far as possible should not be policy making boards.
I am wondering how we can establish a B oard of Public Works
under the draft article proposed by the Executive Branch
when all department heads must be a single executive; and
if there should be a board, a chief administrative officer
should be provided.
