MR. DONAHO: I know that, but the Constitution
|
|
2
|
gave the legislature the authority to adopt this act.
|
|
3
|
They, could also repeal it, correct?
|
|
4
|
THE CHAIRMAN: There is no question about that.
|
|
5
|
MR. DONAHO: All right, but the Constitution
|
|
6
|
should be broad enough to encompass all of these things
|
|
7
|
if the legislature through an act wants to take cognizance
|
|
8
|
of it.
|
|
9
|
THE CHAIRMAN: But I think the legislature has
|
|
10
|
the authority, John, to do anything it wants with the
|
|
11
|
University of Maryland right now, because as I understand
|
|
12
|
it, the legislature has the supreme authority to pass
|
|
13
|
regulations which we call laws and the Maryland Constitutioi
|
|
14
|
merely negates these powers in certain areas. The Constitu
|
|
15
|
tion doesn't confer any power.
|
|
16
|
MR. DOMAHO: The Constitution says that the
|
|
17
|
Governor shall present a complete plan. "Each budget shall
|
|
18
|
contain a complete plan of proposed expenditures and
|
|
19
|
estimated revenues for said fiscal year."
|
|
20
|
THE CHAIRMAN: That's right.
|
|
21
|
MR. DONAHO: If he doesn't have that stuff in it
