I don't see anyone reccomended. Should there not be a list of potential candidates and why they would be better in a piece stating that this choice is not adequate?
You state he is younger and an outsider but then say an end to a clubby atmosphere needs to end. Generaly outsiders of a different generation tend to do just that. Which is it? What was the criteria set by the state police union and do they have a different candidate preference agenda?
