that when you have 35 members on a committee, you are
|
|
2
|
lucky if you get 20 working members who show up on the
|
|
3
|
committee and maybe 15 effective people working on them.
|
|
4
|
Therefore, I do not think that the smaller
|
|
5
|
the house the more effective and better the government.
|
|
6
|
I tend to a larger body, for the very reason that this
|
|
7
|
committee itself --
|
|
8
|
THE CHAIRMAN: : How large?
|
|
9
|
DELEGATE EMANUEL: I say no less than the
|
|
10
|
House of Delegates itself. This committee itself, when
|
|
11
|
we started out today, mentioned, with 35 members making
|
|
12
|
study, you have two men on a committee here, five on
|
|
13
|
a committee there, and you are not effective and I feel
|
|
14
|
this way in the legislature.
|
|
15
|
THE CHAIRMAN: Does 'anyone else want to com-
|
|
16
|
ment on Mr. Emanuel's point before -- let's move to 2;
|
|
17
|
What should be the term of members of the legislature?
|
|
18
|
Here is a very nice question for you. As you know,
|
|
19
|
some states have terms of two years, some have stag-
|
|
20
|
gered terms, four years and even, in some cases, beyond
|
|
21
|
that.
