that to upset a system that has evolved in a functional
|
|
2
|
way and seems to be working pretty well, to rewrite it
|
|
3
|
completely with no guarantee that what we are writing is
|
|
4
|
necessarily going to be better, I came to the conclusion
|
|
5
|
we might do well to stick, with our present system of
|
|
6
|
government and make only minor changes rather than striv-
|
|
7
|
ing for a major revision. That's the essence of what
|
|

|
this report says.

DR. BURDETTE: Dr. Loevy, I gather you would
|
|
10
|
feel perhaps that we should retain in Maryland a possibility
|
|
11
|
which Mr. Miles has expressed great concern about, which
|
|
12
|
I now do, that the Legislature could continue to pass
|
|
13
|
public local laws respecting particular units of govern-
|
|
14
|
ment.
|
|

|
DR. LOEVY: This is one thing 1 still would like
|
|
16
|
to get away from.
|
|
17
|
DR. BURDETTE: I would, too. I rather share
|
|
18
|
your thought, or have retreated to it, just as you had,
|
|
19
|
that perhaps we could not so broadly define powers in
|
|
20
|
the constitution that we would do a successful job, that
|
|
21
|
we might become inflexible by our broad definition.
