[quote=Anonymous]Most states have a superintendent of public instruction or something similar, it's a small elected position without a ton of power. But it allows focus. Would a DC without an elected attorney general have done as much as Karl Racine on the legal advocacy front? I really doubt it. Could a small elected office become captured or irrelevant? Possibly. Generally, though, I favor those choices being left up to democracy. A bureaucracy responds to the internal management chain, not to the public. If people have other models of managing public services that would work better, I'm sure I would be interested to find out about them.[/quote]
