S.256 would allow the county legislative delegations to remove their appointees or recommendations for appointment for neglect of duty, misconduct, or malfeasance.
While the ability to remove appointments for cause is a necessary accountability measure, it fails to deal with the real problem. True reform would be to a) eliminate special purpose districts altogether, and b) transfer executive-branch appointments to the Governor rather than giving legislative delegations more power.
