re: #571 Obdicut

So what? I mean, you’ve agreed for a long time that having a prosecutor be a political office is part of what corrupts that; why is suddenly the political nature of the mayor a great thing in overseeing the police department? Why the sudden reversal?

This has very little to do with what you were saying. It’s an entirely different argument.

There is no reversal. The fact that I continually bemoan the laziness of voters doesn’t mean that the better system is to let the deciding factor lie with unelected union members.
