the authority vested in the Governor in such instance.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Pullen, Delegate Adkins
was asking whether you were referring to the authority of
the Governor to disregard an estimate of the Board of
Revenue Estimates.
DELEGATE PULLEN: Precisely.
DELEGATE ADKINS: I would stand to be corrected
on this. My thought is, I have not personally researched
this problem, but my thought is that the Governor is
bound by the revenue estimates produced by the Board of
Revenue Estimates, and to that extent is suffering, I think,
one of the severest limitations on the gubernatorial power
that a governor can have, and indeed I consider that to be
one of the very root problems involved in this tri-headed
Executive that we now have.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Pullen.
DELEGATE PULLEN: Then it is your theory that an
elected governor, who may or may not have administrative
ability, has the omniscience to decide exactly how much
revenue we are going to have whether he has competence
or not?
