rather than leave it to the Legislature; and I think this
|

|
is one of the major policy decisions this Committee has to

|
make.

THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, and the policy questions
|
5
|
will be taken up as the second part of the agenda, but,
|
6
|
more or less, here, too, we are touching upon whether we
|
7
|
are going to have an enumeration of powers to the local
|
8
|
home rule unit or whether we are going to give to them the
|
9
|
general power, that is, the power to enact any kind of
|
10
|
legislation except that specifically denied in one way or
|
11
|
another, either by the charter itself or by the Consti-
|
12
|
tution or by the Legislature.
|
13
|
We have got to make a basic determination of
|
14
|
which way we are going to write our constitutional pro-
|
15
|
vision. As it is now in the Constitution, they have
|
16
|
powers only specifically granted by the Legislature. We
|
17
|
are cither going to follow that or we are going to change
|
18
|
it and come up with a grant of any and all powers except
|
19
|
those specifically denied. So, I think, here again we
|
20
|
ought to really get research started and see what really
|
21
|
seems to bo the proper basis upon which we can make our
|
