educational systems are expanding. Let's take the
|
2
|
University of Maryland alone. Mr. Case is one of the
|
3
|
outstanding members of the Board of Regents. In one
|
4
|
institution we have a budget exceeding $113 million.

You add up your Federal, State, General and Special funds.

MR. ENEY: Lou, I think John Brooks' question
|
7
|
was directed to a slightly different situation. If you
|
8
|
combined the fiscal function in one person, call him
|
9
|
Chief Fiscal Officer, the present Comptroller function,
|
10
|
State Treasurer function and auditing function in one
|
11
|
official, in your opinion would it be better for that
|
12
|
official to be elected by 'the people or better for him
|
13
|
to be elected by the Legislature?
|
14
|
MR. GOLDSTEIN: Elected by the people.
|
15
|
MR. ENEY: Why?
|

|
MR. NOSSEL: I would say this one thing, that
|
17
|
the Auditor of Maryland has to be a certified public
|
18
|
accountant, and I think that is highly important. I
|
19
|
think, in many of the States you will find that auditors
|
20
|
are elected and this means virtually anyone, and I think
|

|
when you are going in and examining the day to day
