1

DEAN FORDHAM: Yes.

2

DR. LOEVY: Do you think we could go ahead

3

and give a broad grant of power to the home rule units

4

and survive with just these two classes as they now exist?

5

DEAN FORDHAM: You could survive, of course.

6

But I understand this to mean that as to these rural coun-

7

ties which didn't adopt home rule charters, the Legislature

8

could still enact special legislation as to them.

9

DR. LOEVY: Yes.

10

DEAN FORDHAM: I don't think that is desirable.

11

DR. LOSVY: I don't either. What I am really

12

proposing here is that everybody btco»es either a home rule

13

charter county or just a home rule county. In other words,

14

we would have two classes.

15

MR. MILES: what is the difference?

16

DR. LOEVY: That is just in structure, not

17

powers, but as the constitution now reads, the State Legis-

18

lature will have one set of express powers for home rule

19

charter counties and another set of express powers for

20

code counties .

21

MR. MILES: As it now reads, that is right.
