MR. HOFF: What constitutional guarantee do you
|
|
3
|
get?
|
|
4
|
DR. SENSENBAUGH: The guarantee is this , that
|
|
5
|
they must do this. When the budget time comes around and
|
|
6
|
the school system knows this figure is firm and they don't
|
|
7
|
have to wait until the budget is approved by the Governor.

MR. HOFF: Suppose the legislature goes haywire

MR. DOHAHO: Suppose the bottom falls out of
|
|
11
|
the economy and the State just doesn't have the dough and
|
|
12
|
everything should be proportionately reduced. You guys

|

|

|
DR. SENSENBAUGH: Well, they can change it,
|
|
18
|
but they have to do it in advance, so that you have
|
|
19
|
adequate warning.
