exercise your powers?

GOVERNOR TAWES: Powers of what?
|
|
3
|
MRS. BOTHE: Nolle pros, you have never had
|
|
4
|
occasion while in office to exercise your powers?
|
|
5
|
GOVERNOR TAWES: No, I wouldn't want it.

JUDGE ADKINS: The next question —
|
|
7
|
GOVERNOR TAWES: I wouldn't want it. I don't
|
|
8
|
think that would fall in the category of a governor's
|
|
9
|
prerogatives. I mean to say, I can imagine the confusion
|
|
10
|
and what a governor would be up against if he had a power
|
|
11
|
to nolle pros a case in the courts of this State. You con
|
|
12
|
see the confusion that is existing right now in the
|
|
13
|
courts. I read in the paper this morning where a State's
|
|
14
|
Attorney is resigning because of the load that has been
|
|
15
|
created. No, I certainly can't see where. a governor would
|
|
16
|
be in favor of that requirement, that provision.
|
|

JUDGE ADKINS: Going on to the next question,
|
|
18
|
do you feel that the power of the veto, the Governor's
|
|
19
|
veto power, should be in any fashion altered?
|
|
20
|
GOVERNOR TAWES: I don't see any need for it.
|
|
21
|
JUDGE ADKINS: Are you satisfied with this
