a budget; making period, didn't it?
|
|
2
|
MR. GOLDSTE1N: That is right. In fact, it
|
|
5
|
included the last budget of Governor Lane's which was
|
|
4
|
actually Governor Lane's incoming budget. The incoming
|
|
5
|
governor has the responsibility for that budget. That
|
|
6
|
would be the '51 F.Y. budget, a budget of $143,307,000.

MR. ENEY: One other question entirely foreign
|
|
8
|
to this other. There is one provision in the Constitu-
|
|
9
|
tion, and I don't know how it works in practice at all,
|
|
10
|
but this is Section 18 of Article II. It says, It is the
|
|
11
|
duty of the Governor semiannually, and oftener, if neces-
|
|
12
|
sary, to examine under oath the Comptroller and Treasurer
|
|
13
|
of the State.
|
|
14
|
In practice, does this happen? Is it an oral
|
|
15
|
examination or just a written report?
|
|
16
|
MR. NOSSEL: It never happens.
|
|
17
|
MR. GOLDSTEIN: I have been Comptroller eight
|
|
18
|
years, and it never happened to me.
|
|
19
|
MR. NOSSEL: That is one of these obsolete
|
|
20
|
things.

MR. GOLDSTEIN: We publish this report annually
