[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 3117571, member: 18914"] These things go in cycles and I can clearly imagine the arguments that would ensue - allowing the Governor to appoint more officials makes them (the officials) unaccountable to the public, except by several steps removed and it makes the Gov the owner and distributor of more political patronage which leads to corruption and backroom deals. While the "light" and "fresh air" of public elections makes officials accountable and less susceptible to corruption...and here we are at the start of our discussion again. [/QUOTE]
