anything worthy of your attention, I will certainly convey
|
|
2
|
it.

THE CHAIRMAN: We are very carefully studying
|
|
4
|
your model and find it very persuasive, persuasive enough
|
|
S
|
so that even though to some extent we are all traditionalis
|
|
6
|
we are willing to change something that has worked reason-
|
|
7
|
ably well for something that we are not too sure of; but
|
|
8
|
before I do let you go, Dean Fordham, I would like to ask
|
|
9
|
you to comment on intergovernmental relations and give
|
|
10
|
us some thoughts on that.

DEAN FORDHAM: I was interested in what Mr.
|
|
12
|
Brooks said a while ago. That is a very important area
|
|
13
|
obviously because the present configuration of governmen-
|
|
14
|
tal jurisdictions is pretty arbitrary in terms of its
|
|
15
|
relationship to actual community problems and service areas
|
|
16
|
These things tend to overlap horizontally and vertically
|
|
17
|
in terms of responsibility and authority.
|
|
18
|
So that we have to have requisite authorities
|
|
19
|
somewhere in the State to do something about intergovern-
|
|
20
|
mental relations and changes of political arrangements so
|
|
21
|
that you can cope with a problem in adequate context.
