MRS. FREEDLANDSR: Dr. Sensenbaugh, I would
|
2
|
like to extend Mr. Eney's question and perhaps not make
|
3
|
it in the form of a question, but a statement. I have
|
4
|
been observing the schools in Maryland for about twenty
|
5
|
years and I am very much interested in public education.
|
6
|
I think what happens under the present system, because
|
7
|
you are not really beholden to the Governor, is you can
|
8
|
play both parties and you can lobby the legislature and
|
9
|
bring the people to the legislature and get your action
|
10
|
there, because when you mobilize, you mobilize towards
|
11
|
the legislature and not towards the Governor, because
|
12
|
you feel more secure; and if you were appointed by the
|
13
|
Governor, you would feel that you owe allegiance and
|
14
|
loyalty to him and that you might be subject to your
|
15
|
being asked for your resignation.
|
16
|
DR. SENSENBAUGH: That's right. This again
|
17
|
would refer to the individual who was in the Governor's
|
18
|
chair at the time.
|
19
|
MRS. FREEDLANDER: I don't think so. I think
|
20
|
it could be anybody. It could be somebody who is pro
|
21
|
education and it could be a neutral person. 1 think
