By vesting this authority - in Comptroller Lee in the proposed bill, the administration may hope to remove the comptroller from the list of active the bill. Comptroller Lee, you may remember, at a committee hearing on the original bill, op- posed it on the ground that it would destroy local self govern- ment. And finally, this last pro- posal would give the state a state tax commissioner vested with complete supervision over coun- ty tax assessment and collection | machinery without legislative creation of a new state agency pending approval of the constitu- tional amendment.
