You are dumb, in your state these are the forms of government.

Townships(Municipal)
County
State
National

County’s serve a role during elections and they also serve a role for being a local voice. A township is where extremely local issues are presented such as to place a stop sign at x intersection. The levels of government serve their own purpose in real life but, we can’t have it all in roblox.

Elections, especially for the Sheriff’s Office, would be a hilarious failure! Do you know how much of a legal pain of an ass it is with LEO departments when their officials are appointed already? There have been like two LEO DHs that got their departments sued in the SC this year. Making it a more political office (as frankly LEO DH positions involve more politics than the fregin’ Governor does) yb using elections where any idiot can be in would be a shit show of epic proportions. If you want to create the least amount of legal and societal hustle, just have the Governor appoint them.

Have you guys never heard of qualifications for office?

The County Government has many purposes that if removed will give the State Government a lot more power. Having elections for Sheriff will also cause a lot of try hards that may be able to talk there way into the position and then just destroy the department. And why would you wanna remove County Government and leave City Governments?

Here would be some of the qualifications for the office of Sheriff:

  • Previously or currently serving in the Stapleton County Sheriff Office; and,
  • Obtained the rank of Sergeant or above; and,
  • Hold a valid POST certification.

If our current political atmosphere says anything it’s that no matter what you require morons are going to get in. Since we’re on the topic of LEOs, I cite POST as an example. Despite them trying their damndest to make qualified, competent LEOs the stream of FA and abuse cases is still flowing.

Thanks for your feedback! Polls closed and bill written.

May issues with what people wanted in regards of if County Government should be shut down.
If City Government should be shut down.
If it should be forever or only for a short time.
What should happen if they are removed as in electing Sheriff & Fire Chief to as elections or Governor appointing & Senate passing.
May other issues but theses are the main ones.

But anyways, here is the bill and awaiting the JRC approval.

Elections = Joke.

Simply put.

As @Straphos said,

MANY tryhards.

So we’re just going to disregard the fact that we can get another “Kolibob” in office and he can fire the Sheriff and appoint some jackass, I’m not sure we want that. You guys don’t even look at the election results and you’re talking about someone rigging an election? You cannot confirm nor deny the use of alternate accounts so stop speculating on a mindless convention of yours that has no substance.

As I’ve said multiple times, with Sir_Mr reiterating, there will be qualifications for office. The election will be lead by the Firestone Election Committee, as constituted by statute. We’re now more than capable of ensuring a fair election and a fair playing field.

what’s the problem with it working the same way the fsp superintendent is nominated/confirmed?

Choosing a Sheriff and Fire Chief is strictly on a local level.

Why would we just give the Governor a duty that’s not even constitutionally mandated? Why would we give the Governor even more duties on top of controlling the Firestone Bureau of Investigation, the Firestone Department of Homeland Security, and other investigative and law enforcement agencies alongside a department tasked with prosecuting criminals? He already has the power to appoint Senators and Representatives. What else does he need? Just to add, he won’t be mandated to appoint a Sheriff or Fire Chief.
