Perry Chief of Staff Diedre Delisi has announced she'll be leaving in July. (via) Rumors are already circulating on who'll take her place. Who would want that job? You know it has a definite end date because a governor elected with 39% of the vote isn't the superstar he once was and if you're trying to be an up and comer in teh Republican party then maybe that gig isn't the best place. Well, unless you are an egomaniac that thinks you can turn it all around. *eye roll*
From Quorum Report:
Gov. Rick Perry today appointed Brian Newby as his new Chief of Staff. Newby currently serves as the governor’s General Counsel. Additionally, Perry announced his appointments of Kathy Walt and Kris Heckmann as Deputy Chiefs of Staff. These new appointments take effect July 1, 2007.
Ric Williamson. God help us if I'm right.
