UM Court of Appeals which shall be a public record.
Third, this section expressly gives the governor
power to grant commutations. Although the governor
IUM long exercised this power, it is not expressly given
to him by the Article 2, Section 20 of the present
Conlitution.
The last section of the Committee Recommendation
Steals with the office of State ' s Attorney and provides
that there shall be a State's Attorney popularly elected.
The committee recommends, however, that all
public matter of the requirement that he be popularly
lected be left to the legislative determination, such as
Batters relating to the geographical areas which each
fate's attorney shall represent, the filling of vacancies
and the terms of office, qualificatins for holding
office, all of which are found in Article 5, Section 7 to
12 Of the present Constitution.
The committee feels that the state's attorney
hould be elected to assure that they will be responsive
to the dominant law enforcement views of the community,
but that the details should not be included in the Constitution
