The D.C. Council today gave final approval to a bill that would change the District’s Attorney General into an elected position, as the Post’s Ann E. Marimow reports. The vote came after the Council rejected an amendment offered by Ward 6’s Tommy Wells to instead transfer the powers of the U.S. Attorney’s Office to an elected district attorney. The bill as passed would not take effect until 2014, so it wouldn’t affect current AG Peter Nickles, and of course Congress would first have to amend the Home Rule charter. The bill would require anyone running for a four-year AG term to have practiced law in the District for at least five of the previous 10 years.
