THE CHAIRMAN: I was sort of leading up to
|
|
2
|
that.

|
MR. GOLDSTEIN: I anticipated that would be
|
|
4
|
brought up. I feel the present system of revenue estimat-
|
|
5
|
ing, we have the Budget Director who represents the
|
|
6
|
Executive, the State Treasurer representing the Legis-
|
|
7
|
lature, and the Comptroller representing the people is a
|
|
8
|
sound approach to it. It has worked. It certainly hasn't
|
|
9
|
impaired our Governor. It hasn't put any obstacles in
|
|
10
|
the path of the Governor in the past, and I certainly
|
|
11
|
won't do it in the future. We have a career man Secre-
|
|
12
|
tary to the Board, in this instance, Irvin Young, a
|
|
13
|
dedicated outstanding State official.

THE CHAIRMAN: In the public report of onee
|
|
15
|
of the hearings of our Committee, there were some very
|
|
16
|
disparaging things said about the Bureau of Revenue
|
|
17
|
Estimates by a nationally known expert on budget and
|
|
18
|
finance. I hate to tell you what he called them.
|
|

DR. JENKINS: You have been called worst things
|
|
20
|
haven't you?

THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Goldstein is not a Member
