What follows have all the potential to be a wonderful insider look at how the legislative process “really” works. Not the one they taught you in your high school government/civics class.
Our story begins with the launch this week of a call to revise the method for picking candidates for two of the top three executive positions in state government namely state attorney general and secretary of state hence forth to be known as simply “A.G.” and “S.O.S.”
You get extra credit if you already know that the two major political parties are assigned this task. They do so by inviting avid party members, better known as delegates, into a one or two day state convention where the candidates for those two slots at the top of the ticket sell their political wares and the one with the most buyers gets the nominations.
