Scanlan goes one way and Delegate Gallagher goes another
it is a new version of Irish partition, which I am unhappy
to see, because generally the celebrated member of
Montgomery County is with the committee by and large.
I should like to say -that in view of the history
of what has happened 'with Conflict of Interest legislation
and Code of Ethics legislation here in Maryland, that is
to say, a uniform history of failure in the past three or
four years of 27 bills, at least 24 of them were turned
down, died and never saw the light of day. It is quite
obvious that there is not going to be any Conflict of
Interest or Code of Ethics legislation unless there is
some prodding power or some provoking force. I submit to
you that that provoking force is not going to be the public
\ and I submit if there is going to be any effective prodding
it is going to be this Constitutional Convention and the
language that we provide. Now, last year two bills were
I referred to the special subcommittee on the subject matter,
and that subcommittee came back with the wonderful idea
that there indeed ought to be a Conflict of Interest
legislation, but it only should apply to the Executive |
