Fix the problem, not the symptom

So, would it prevent another Renkes fiasco to make the AG an elected position? Hmm ... to avoid potential politicization and conflicts of interest, we'll make it an elected position, so the AG candidates will have to raise funds from the same people they'll be overseeing ....

The problem was never just Renkes, and the problem was never just the system ... it's the guy who appointed Renkes and is controlling the system. When we stop electing croneyist partisan hacks like Gov. Dorkowski, we'll stop having the ethics problems.
