Alaska's department heads needs to accountable to the people

Alaska's department heads need to be held accountable to the people.  The best way for Alaska to do that is to be like most states.  Have the following departments have their department heads elected by the people.  This will require a ballot measure.  The legislature should never be involved in a changing Alaska's constitution.  Only citizens with the measure process.  The following heads need to be elected instead of appointed.  Secretary of State this would State Corporations, State Seal and Elections.  Lt. Governor should only supervise the legislature.  Attorney General should be elected.  This allow the state attorney to be an independent not accountable to the governor.  This also can help Alaska be more consumer friendly.  Superintendent of Alaska's Education this will allow the education chief to be accountable to the people not the governor's agenda.  Auditor this person will make sure state tax dollars are spent wisely and properly.  Commissioner of Public Lands this will give accountability to the people not bureaucrats in controlling Alaska's Fish and Game.  Having high elected department puts more accountability on public officials.  Please support more accountability by electing high department heads instead of appointing them.
