Re: professionalism, not power

["John and Laurie Danahy" <JDANAHY@turbonet.com>]

I humbly disagree with Priscilla's arguments for the change in county
government.  A central manager will, of course, have to have his own
office, with his own secretary.  Pretty soon he will be so busy he will
need an assistant, with an assistant secretary. Thus bureaucracy grows to
fill every available vacancy.
The problem of the lack of professional credentials of those running for
office could be solved by creating specific requirements that must be met
by all candidates.  Also, more qualified candidates could be induced to run
for positions by eliminating the current two party system.  Most GDI's do
not want the stigma of being associated with either of the two major
parties now controlling the elections.
I prefer to still have my say in each position, and not have my say
delegated to a manager through someone I may not have voted for.
