However, Crawford is a better politician that the rest of the council. Yet, I think there is going to be a flurry of litigation over the state of GPDSC, if this bill passes.

My initial inclination is that this is a bad idea because Mack Crawford, director of GPDSC, is not a true believer by any stretch of the imagination.. but, this may not be such a bad idea. Crawford's a politician and a Republican, so it might be easier to get things accomplished if him and the standards council weren't butting heads all the time. “Would this be a good or bad thing for indigent defense in GA?”
