wrong ' Sanders then raised the
question of the actual authority
of the Governor
"Besides the Governor," he

Including the librarian, depart

that there is a total of about
2.000 state employees under the
direct authority of the Governor
"The Governor has direct con
trol of less than six per cent of
the 35.000 state employees," San

mer Governor said "the Gover
nor must use every bit of indi

administrate the state,"
This indirect authority. Sanders
pointed out, comes in the form of
the Governor's influence over the
budget, state planning, and tl|e
fact that he appoints most of the

Through this indirect and di
rect authority. Sanders said it
was the Governor's challenge "to
weld together the diverse groups
of people into a smooth working
team."
Sanders said that teamwork
isn't easy,” and that "you
must realize that there w. I
be more government in your
life in the future He added
that the government is operat
ing today on a system that was
evolved 200 years ago
and Georgia Supreme Courts
have similar functions and res
ponsibilities in that they both in

presented before the Court in
