Is/should the Attorney General of your community be an elected or appointed position?

How is it where you live? What do you think is best?

Are you asking about Attorneys General, all of whom are state or territorial officials (with the exception of the DC AG), or about district attorneys/state prosecutors/county prosecutors or whatever they may be called, who are local officials?

I think all but about 7 or 8 state AGs are elected.

I thought he meant county prosecutors. And NJ is one of the states with a appointed AG.
