GOVERNOR TAWES: I don't believe I understand
|
|
2
|
your question.
|
|
3
|
MR. SAYRE: Well, let's say that you decided to
|
|
4
|
reduce all activities in the executive branch to fifteen
|
|
5
|
departments or agencies, let's just say. Do you believe
|
|
6
|
you should have that authority to institute this reorganiza-
|
|
7
|
tion, and what limitations should the legislative branch
|
|
8
|
have upon your ability to do this?
|
|

GOVERNOR TAWES: Well, I think the Legislature
|
|
10
|
probably would sort of frown on that kind of widespread
|
|
11
|
authority, and I wouldn't ask for that kind of authority
|
|
12
|
if I were Governor. However, there are many areas of over-
|
|
13
|
lapping agencies, and we are trying to cure some of those
|
|
14
|
things under the Board of Natural Resources, Water Manage-
|
|
15
|
ment, and things of that kind, we are trying to gradually
|
|
16
|
overcome and eliminate the overlapping of responsibilities
|
|
17
|
in certain areas. Now, the Legislature can do these things
|
|
16
|
but we are doing it piecemeal, a little here and a little
|
|
19
|
there, and before you get one area cured, probably some-
|
|
20
|
thing else breaks out that gives you trouble. In the area
|
|
21
|
of Welfare, you have many facets of Welfare today, I mean
|
