That is met Gemecracy! It is not far from This peculiar proposed amend- ment contains no such require- ment for a budget director, who would take over one of the most vital functions now exercised by the governor. For aught that ap- pears in that amendment, the budget director could be a recent- ly arrived alien. I don’t believe the people of Florida are willing to take such a long chance. Being appointed by the legisla- ture and subject to discharge whenever 68 members thereof de- cided he was no longer wanted, a budget director quite. naturally would do the legislature’s bidding without question. This would add up to abject subservience of the executive branch to the leg- islative branch of government, thereby seriously weakening the form and structure under which the legislature during a regular} session. This would necessitate an extra session. The summer- long extra session in 1945 was just } a sample of what could be expect- | ed if this amendment should be! adopied. ' If the people of Florida should saddle this constitutional mon-} strosity upon themselves, the] flood gates of “buck-passing”; would be opened wide. A gover- | nor elected on a platform posi-/| tively promising definite fiscal; reforms could be completely | thwarted by the budget director.
