this; but this has been done in some of the Scandinavian
|
|

countries. Well, that's it.

MR. ENEY: Dr. Michener, it seems to me there
|
|
4
|
is no objective or statistical test by which you can re-
|
|
5
|
solve this question; it is purely subjective and it is a
|
|
6
|
matter that someone has to resolve on the basis of experience.
|
|
7
|
I wonder if there has been any discussion or
|
|
8
|
study made as to whether the experience of municipalities
|
|
9
|
which, as we all know, are practically universally now
|
|
10
|
unicameral, is applicable on the state level or whether
|
|
11
|
the municipal legislatures are of such a different character
|
|
12
|
and kind that they do not furnish any guide for us here?
|
|

|
DR. MICHENER: I am not that familiar with
|
|
14
|
them to be able to answer your question. The argument,
|
|
15
|
though, that was advanced in the move to unicameral city
|
|
16
|
legislatures was that these v?ere business operations from
|
|
17
|
which you want to exclude political considerations, and
|
|
18
|
the model here was the corporation and the argument was
|
|
19
|
made that we've got a city manager and we turn over the
|
|
20
|
business affairs of the city to him and this should be
|
|
21
|
conducted, as I say, parallel to a corporation.
