During a press conference this morning with Governor Hanna Xu, opinions were expressed about the article “Stripped Down Rights” from the November 13th issue of The Capital Connection.
“During State Committee,” stated Governor Xu, ” it was brought up by Ken Hussey [to change the voting method.] Pretty much half advisers and half kids voted [to change the election method.]”
Xu later mentioned that it appeared most participants voted in agreement with the advisers so as to not upset them. She disagrees with the decision made at the committee and thought of proposing a revision bill, but has decided otherwise.
“The reason they did this,” revealed Xu, “was because the people who are more prepared have a better chance instead of [the election] being a popularity contest.”
Governor Xu pointed out that the Attorney General is not a position that people really watch to see who is more qualified. It still, however, is an important position to understand and regard because the Attorney General can kill a bill before it reaches the Senate floor.
The biggest issue faced by Governor Xu is that if the governor resigns, the Lt. Governor would take her place, and the people would have had no say in the line of succession.
People want their views and opinions heard, and they are unable to express themselves if they have no say in electing their executive officers.
