Ramsey County / County could end sheriff elections
He's one of the most important armed dudes around. So the people should decide who the Ramsey County sheriff is in an election, as they do now. But because he (or she) is one of the most important armed dudes around, there's no way we should leave it to the whims of voters and the machinery of big-ego politicians - the sheriff should be appointed. Whaddya think? The otherwise-quiet Ramsey County Charter Commission - which is considering putting the question on the November ballot - wants to know. Tuesday evening will be the first of a series of public hearings on the issue, which encompasses the philosophical musings of democracy and the provincial turf battles of local politics. It's hardly new to Ramsey County.
