reorganization which has been long overdue.  Some of these groups have employed the word "politics" with an evil connotation and intend it to apply to a likely lack of ability or worthiness in the Governor and members of the Legislature elected by the people. In so doing, many of these pressure groups have and are employing the most nefarious tactics of the political pressure group^ the very evil from which they allege to be protecting the people and the particular cause which each espouses.
The State Constitution and the general purpose of the Council and P.A.S. reorganization plans look towards a chief executive who, in the public interest, is clothed with both the authority and the responsibility for the efficient operation of government.  The elected Legislature establishes the policy and authorizes the expenditure of public funds for administration.  The elected Governor is the chief administrator who is responsible for the proper execution of legislative policy and expenditure of appropriated money.  Both are subject to election and other controls residing in the people.
It is the considered opinion of the Council that the reorganization of the executive branch is essential to economy and efficiency in state government.  While we commend the P.A.S. report, it is the sincere opinion of the Council that the areas where this report and addendum departs from that of the P.A.S.; the Council •has been guided primarily by motives of practicality.  A comparison of these reports will reflect the close correlation between what may be termed P.A.S. "abstract thinking'1 and Council "practicality".
