Last Sane Man's proposal

A modest proposal from Last Sane Man--who still posts anonymously.

Constitutional Amendment that would eliminate the elected offices of Secretary of State, Treasurer and Commissioner of Agriculture. The functions of these three offices would be assumed by the other executive branch offices under the governor.

These three constitutional offices are used primarily for politicians on the way up to the test the political waters at a statewide level. Or they are occupied by politicians on the way down as a political award. The holders of these offices provide a minimum of service for the citizens of the Commonwealth and their duties could be done as well, or better, by appointed administrators.

Currently we have three young men sitting in these offices. None have done anything particularly offensive. Jonathan Miller’s KAPT program being the most positive accomplishment among the three and Richie Farmer's AWOL record at the Dept. of Agriculture being the worst, at least if he's not there he can't screw up anything.

I take issue with this as I like the KAPT program and Jonathan's leadership capabilities (I think he's gonna make a fine Governor or Senator someday if he runs!), Farmer was a good ball player but never got my vote and Trey Grayson voted to not certify Dana Seum Stephenson. Thoughts? Comments? I expect better from Last Sane Man.
