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.

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.
