these officials who share power and who share it not only

2

constitutionally, but also through statute, such as the

3

Board of Public Works, which further diffuses responsibilit

4

in the State. This is something I hope this Constitutional

5

Commission abolishes forthwith.

6

THE CHAIRMAN: The Board of Public Works?

7

MR. DONAHO: Yes, which is an awful thing, a

8

waste of time. In other States, where there are strong

g

executives, where the executives are able to exercise

10

authority, they too would not, through their allotment

11

systems, permit the executive agencies, particularly the

12

executive agencies, to spend above that which they in theii

13

wisdom as chief executive have seen fit to originally de-

14

termine.

15

There is a corollary situation which you probably

16

should carefully consider, which I mention in my written

17

statement, whether this authority should extent to the

18

Judicial and Legislative Departments. As you know, they

19

are now, the judiciary is exempted and the legislative .

20

group is exempted from the Governor's determination, which

21

is consistent with the idea of the separation of power.
