Meadows proposed today that Alabama consider adopting a governor-cabinet system similar to Florida's to improve administration of state government. "It would be constructive it candidates for state offices and those. running for the Legislature would consider this in their platforms," he said in an interview.
"it should bring good response from. the Florida governor and six al eted state officials meet each week to determine administrative policies and coordinate the affairs of state government, While the governor. is designated as the chairman and exercises the constitutional powers.of chiet. executive, in actual practice he can be overruled by the cabinet Florida Setups In addition to the governor, members of Florida's state. cabinet are the attorney general, treasurer, commissioner of agriculture, secretary of state, superIntendent of public instruction and comptroller.

Sometimes there is little liaison between the governor's office and the other constitutional officials. "I think elected officials who speak for agriculture education Land other. improtant.

"It would make for more effi. elent administration of the state's affairs and the various departments could coordinate their ef. forts to give the people better state: state superintendent of education said under Alabama's system constitutional officials serve in a "sort of satellite or relationship with the governor or "go their own ways" independent of the chiet executive "I believe the governor -cabinet offers Alabama an opportunity.
