U
argument now applies to allow the governor to appoint
the Attorney General and all of his assistants, and putting
politicians in the legal department of the State, where it '
has no place. And we are continually creating the same ;
horrible mess that was referred to by Judge Henderson
and which he was disposed to clean up.
I submit to you that the only way to have an
impartial, independent office in the attorney general
is to have it an elected one.
THE CHAIRMAN: Does any other delegate desire
to speak in opposition?
Delegate Willoner.
DELEGATE WILLONER: After the last I must get
up and say something. Anybody who thinks there isn't
politics in the attorney general's office doesn't know wha:
the facts are. Not only is there politics, but the assist"
ant attorney generals are active politicians, working for
the attorney general for governor. Whether it makes any
difference to this debate or not, it just isn't true that
the attorney general is not involved in politics, because
he certainly is.
