entirely possible.

MR. RAVER: Don't ignore the evidence I gave
|
|
3
|
some time ago that in many States one of their biggest
|
|
4
|
problems is to maintain the budget.
|
|
5
|
MR. SACHS: Is it your opinion you have given
|
|
6
|
us evidence to justify the retention of this very narrow
|
|
7
|
point? I am not talking about other protections education
|
|
8
|
has, the restrictions as to any legislative tampering
|
|
9
|
with the education budget, only this narrow point, that
|
|
10
|
the governor may not revise the budget as submitted to
|
|
11
|
him. is it your testimony, then, that that provision alone
|
|
12
|
has been responsible, if not; to what extent has that pro-
|
|
13
|
vision been responsible for the very favorable climate
|
|
14
|
toward education and political education in this State?
|
|
15
|
MR. RAVER: I would say it is the most impor-
|
|
16
|
tant change that was made in 1960, and it is now the most
|
|
17
|
important protection of public education in the State of
|
|
18
|
Maryland.
|
|
19
|
MR. SACHS: As tc my other question, I take it,
|
|
20
|
then, your answer is you simply consider from your point
|
|
21
|
of view, of course, that education is simply more important
|
