MR. PRESSMAN: This is only incidental for
|
|
2
|
the reason I wanted it made clear that in my opinion
|
|
3
|
there is a good, strong case against having such a provi-
|
|
4
|
sion at all, and where there is a debatable matter such as
|
|
5
|
that, it doesn't belong in the Constitution at all.
|
|
6
|
This is only incidental to the main thrust, as you have
|
|
7
|
stated.

THE CHAIRMAN: Do you know whether or not
|
|
9
|
any other states have provisions of this kind in their
|
|
10
|
Constitution?
|
|
11
|
MR. PRESSMAN: I have no knowledge of such
|
|
12
|
provisions. I do know I might say, that the State of
|
|
13
|
New York has a referendum coming up before the people
|
|
14
|
in November. I don't really know of any such provisions
|
|
15
|
in any other Constitution.
|
|
16
|
THE CHAIRMAN: I would suppose that if this
|
|
17
|
provision were taken out of the Constitution and the
|
|
18
|
Legislature should adopt an act which would authorize
|
|
19
|
a lottery, that somebody could petition that to referendum
|
|
20
|
too.
|
|
21
|
MR. PRESSMAN: They night very well do it.
