    My county changed the sheriff position from elected to appointed by the county council a few years back. A bunch of people flipped out over it but I think it has been great.

    As a side note, why do counties tend to have councils running them instead of an executive, who would get the title “Count”. We need more Counts in America.

      I think because we very pointedly jettisoned all noble titles as a component of a little kerfluffle about 250 years ago.

      Sheriffs should absolutely not be elected. I’ve always thought that was bullshit.
