Statement from Attorney General Thurbert Baker On Governor Perdue’s Proposal To

Eliminate Elections For Four Constitutional Offices

“The Governor’s proposal to take away people’s right to vote for four constitutional offices is simply wrong.  In a state where the right to vote was fought for and advanced, it is insulting to propose taking that right away from people, especially for critical policy making positions that affect so many lives.  These offices exist to serve the people, not to be political trophies for the politicians who would like to control them.”
