exempted from appropriation requirements. This means that
|
|
2
|
in the following year, when the appropriations are con-
|
|
3
|
sidered by the Governor and the legislature, they are not
|
|
4
|
particularly aware of the full impact of all of these
|
|

funds when considering new State appropriations.

I would advocate a constitutional provision to

|
insure that all monies received by a State officer or em-

|
8

|
deposited in the State Treasury and that no funds may ever
|
|
10
|
be expended out of the State Treasury except pursuant to
|
|
11
|
an appropriation or pursuant to a specific provision in-

|
12
|
cluded in the appropriation bills. No payment should be
|
|
13
|
made from any appropriation unless such payment is made
|
|
14
|
within two years after the enactment of the appropriation.

Now, that is a tight provision and it is purposel

tight. It is supposed to sweep in all monies received or
|
|
17
|
expended by the State, but if you are going to have such
|
|
18
|
a restricted provision, if is imperative to provide
|
|
19
|
flexibility, because in any organization spending a billion
|
|
20
|
dollars a year or in that neighborhood, there are going to
|
|
21
|
be contingencies developing. You've got to be able to meet
