know the difference in terms of b? sic ideas, as to whether
|
|
2
|
something is inherently local or State, I don't know about
|
|
3
|
that. These things, to my way of thinking, are not one
|
|
4
|
way or the other; they are governmental functions to be
|
|
5
|
distributed among responsible divisions of government.

I would say if you follow my theory, 'you devolve
|
|
7
|
this authority upon the local unit but the Legislature is
|
|
8
|
always in a position to act by general statute to modify
|
|
9
|
or override this devolution of power.

MR. KELVIN: Until they do act

DEAN FORDHAM: Until then, the local unit may

|

|
proceed.

DR. LOEVY: Let me clear up your question.
|
|
14
|
These two documents are not related in any way. This. con-
|
|
15
|
stitutional language is not designed to implement this
|
|

|
report. I was asked by the Committee to draw up a grant
|
|
17
|
of express powers. I do not support this. I would much
|
|
18
|
prefer to just keep the express powers act we have now.
|
|
19
|
So these two are not related at all.

DEAN FORDHAM: I am glad you agree because I
|
|

|
would be very troubled about trying to be specific. A lot
