Indiana Law - More on Change in Administrations in Indiana State Government

The Indianapolis Star has more this morning on the upcoming change in administrations, in a story headlined "Daniels' new team takes form: Chief of staff and his deputy are named." Some quotes:

Thursday, the Kernan administration told nearly 150 agency and department heads and other top employees to turn in their resignations, effective any time between now and Jan. 10, to pave the way for the new administration.

"People in appointed positions should expect that it is very likely that they will be replaced," Daniels said.

But, he added, "We're not going to be inflexible about this. Not all (resignations) will be accepted, certainly not immediately. Some may never be accepted."

Daniels, though, made it clear he is planning major changes in state government. He said he has assigned 32 "due diligence" teams to examine different areas. He wants each to report to him by Dec. 10 on "the conditions, the problems and the opportunities" they find.

Yesterday the Star provided a link to a valuable, but very hard-to-read, list of the 150 names (see yesterday's entry, below). The Indiana Law Blog has been able to scan and convert this list to a more useful document. In addition, here is the list sorted by name, and sorted by salary.

From today's story, it appears that the request for resignations comes from the current governor, not from the governor-elect. If anyone would care to send me a copy of the letter, I could post it.
