I realize this would never work because there are many positions that are elected which couldn't possibly be filled by an "average Joe". Thinking of county coroner right now.




Maybe not. The whole time I was growing up the coroner was a guy who owned a used car lot. I think his position was more office work than being Quincy.

I like your idea. It would take some fine tuning, but it's interesting.

I think the problem is less with the politicians than it is the entrenched bureaucracies that aren't elected and truly run the show. But who knows the name of some pencil pusher in at the Department of Ag? They're the ones who come up with the policy that gets signed by some partisan pol who doesn't know their ass from a gopher hole in the ground.
