Open government statutes in California have proved both beneficial and harmful. In the energy commission, for example, as in other government commissions, nearly all decisions must be made in public session for which at least seven days’ notice must be given. Which decisions can be made by the executive director and which are strictly reserved for the commission becomes quite important in this context. If something is a matter for the commission, there must be a public notice with attendant publicity and preparation of materials for distribution at the meeting. Furthermore, a commissioner may not meet informally with another commissioner nor with the executive director or any member of his staff to discuss commission activities. Such behavior would be a violation of open government statutes. Staff briefings must take place commissioner by commissioner or through a commissioner’ s advisors. More frequently, commissioners or their advisors contact the staff for information, but all such requests must be submitted in writing.
An example of the impact of open government on the operating procedures of a commission was illustrated by the energy commission’ s budgetary process. The budget for the commission, unlike that prepared in other state agencies, was prepared in public session by the five commissioners. The session was not simply a "review and comment" session since the commissioners had not previously discussed the budget. Every tern proposed for the budget could be commented upon by anyone who attended the session.
Perhaps open government’ s effect has been greatest in the promulgation of rules and regulations. Complaints have arisen from several legislators and news media about the slowness of the energy commission in setting regulations. If, however, a commission attempts to handle fewer matters without input from state agencies and interested groups in open meetings, it will be criticized for circumventing the open government intentions. If present practices continue, the com- mission will continue to be criticized for moving too slowly. [br] The passage most strongly supports which of the following conclusions about a decision that is within the authority of the executive director of an agency?
选项
A、It would be made more quickly than a decision reserved for a commission.
B、It would be made with the assistance of the agency’ s commissioners.
C、It would be a highly publicized event attended by members of the news media.
D、It would deal with a matter of greater importance that those handled by the commission.
答案
A
解析
根据文章最后一句“If present practices continue,the commission will continue to be criticized for moving too slowly.”可知,作者认为如果决定由委员会作出,那速度太慢了。
