draft of the legislation needful to implement the con-
|

stitutional provisions if adopted this fall.

DR. LOEVY: Mr. Chairman.

THE CHAIRMAN: Dr. Loevy.
|
|
5
|
DR. LOEVY: May I ask Dean Fordham a question.
|
|
6
|
Given this Maryland tradition for not having classification
|
|
7
|
what would be your opinion of adopting your broad grant
|
|
8
|
of power but not trying for classification? In other
|
|
9
|
words, requiring the Legislature to pass general laws for
|
|
10
|
all 24 subdivisions.
|
|
11
|
DEAN FORDHAM: Under my scheme, you would have
|
|
12
|
to -- my scheme doesn't make home rule automatic. You
|
|
13
|
adopt a charter to have substantive home rule powers. You
|
|
14
|
have to have the basic scheme of legislative enactment,
|
|
15
|
with respect to your counties apart from these, these are
|
|
16
|
alternatives, you have to have the basic scheme anyway.
|
|
17
|
DR. BURDETTE: And do.
|
|
18
|
DR. LOEVY: Suppose you created a state with
|
|
19
|
24 home rule governments through the constitution. What
|
|
20
|
would you think of giving them the broad grant of home
|
|
21
|
rule powers with no classification power?
