Two Corrections and an Apology
In this week's Pulse column, I inadvertently stated that Tennessee's Attorney General is elected by the state Legislature. The office is, in fact, as everyone knows (including me), filled by the state Supreme Court.
I must have been thinking about the bill filed by Sen. Rosalind Kurita to change the Constitution so that several officials, including the Attorney General, would be elected by the people. I probably lumped the Attorney General in with Secretary of State, Treasurer, and Comptroller in my mind, as the latter three are elected by the General Assembly. As Bill pointed out, Tennessee is the only state where the Attorney General is chosen by the Supreme Court.
I hereby apologize to readers for the mistake.
The second correction is much happier, and has to do with my earlier plea for transcripts from the prosecution's evidence against Ward Crutchfield. A.C. Kleinheider not only got them, but pointed out that they were on the TFP website. (However, I'm certain there are more.) I ask all of you to read these pages, and to pay close attention to the sections that have to do with the election commission.
