THE CHAIRMAN: It specifically says, But such
|
|
2
|
powers may be repealed by the StattT Legislature, which
|
|
3
|
would certainly mean take them away, would it not?
|
|
4
|
DR. LOSVY: I am referring there to the powers
|
|
5
|
granted through the grant of express powers.
|
|
6
|
DEAN FOUDHAM: It says they include these --
|
|
7
|
shall include those powers, I think a court would say as
|
|
8
|
a matter of interpretation these could be taken back.
|
|
9
|
DR. LOEVY: I would change that first paragraph.
|
|

|
DEAN FORDHAM: I want to say about this that I
|
|
11
|
have a great hesitancy in putting any substantive local
|
|
12
|
power beyond legislative control. Things change too much.
|
|
13
|
MR. MELVIN: That is my point. Saying they
|
|
14
|
don't have any powers unless, talking about the Legislature,
|
|
15
|
the Legislature would have no power over local governments
|
|
16
|
unless they felt there was a matter of strictly something
|
|
17
|
that transcended local affairs, in other wtrds, you start
|
|
18
|
out with the local governments having every power that you .
|
|
19
|
can conceive of that any legislative body could have.
|
|
20
|
DEAN FORDHAM: That is my theory, but without
|
|
21
|
whether it is local or whatever you may describe it, I don't
