responsibility for all other governmental programs.

DR. SENSENBAUGH: Maybe there is one reason
|
|
3
|
it shouldn't be an entirely separate branch. If it is
|
|
4
|
a separate branch, I would assume it would have its
|
|

|
own taxing authority?

MR. BROOKS: Not necessarily. It would be

|
|
11
|
so could other personnel.

are somewhat kept in balance.

MR. BROOKS: They could still have provision:
|
|

|
similar to the budgetary section, so far as independence
|
|
18
|
of education from the executive and to sone degree
|
|
19
|
legislative interference and that the legislature can-
|
|
20
|
not just change whatever this formula is and have it
|
|
21
|
applied to this year's budget. So, you still have this
