ATLANTA -- Gov. Sonny Perdue is proposing that four state constitutional officers now elected by the public should instead be appointed by the governor.
The four are state school superintendent, agriculture commissioner, labor commissioner and insurance commissioner.
The change would require two-thirds approval in each house of the Legislature, and would have to be ratified by the state's voters.
The governor elected in 2014 would be the first to appoint people to the four positions. Appointments would require confirmation by the Senate.
