Can you review that for me?

THE CHAIRMAN: Well, we have been discussing,
|
|
3
|
I hope in some depth, this problem and Mr. Rennie has said
|
|
4
|
here this morning that he felt that if this provision is
|
|
5
|
taken out of the Constitution, it wouldn't change the
|
|
6
|
amount of money that you would get at all. When I say you,
|
|
7
|
of course, I mean the public schools, and I think Mr. Sachs
|
|
8
|
asked him if he didn't think so, but if there was any
|
|
9
|
reason it should be taken out other than this, I don't think
|
|
10
|
he had any. point, did he?
|
|
11
|
MR. SACHS: Nothing that struck me as overwhelming
|
|
12
|
THE CHAIRMAN: In other words, it ceems to me
|
|
13
|
to be a very obsolete provision of the Constitution, and
|
|
14
|
all I know about it is what I have been told when I was
|
|
15
|
a member of the State Board and being a fairly close friend
|
|
16
|
of Dr. Pullen for many, many years, but as I understand it,
|
|
17.
|
it was put in the Constitution to keep the politicians from
|
|
18
|
playing politics with the school system.
|
|
19
|
MR. BOND: I think he said the Governor has
|
|
20
|
no discretion.
|
|
21
|
THE CHAIRMAN: No discretion, right.
