Ind. Gov't. - Public Access Counselor moves on, to Indiana Department of Education; no successor named

Robert Annis of the Indianapolis Star reports this afternoon:

Indiana¹s top public records watchdog is leaving her job to take a education post.

Public Access Counselor Heather Willis Neal, who Gov. Mitch Daniels appointed to a four-year term in 2007, accepted a new role at the Indiana Department of Education.

The Indiana University Law School graduate previously served as executive director of the School Choice Indiana nonprofit from 2005-07. * * *

Neal¹s last official day as public access counselor is Friday, but because there is no successor lined up, she'll be pulling double duty for a while, she said.
