Leaving, So Soon?
Secretary of State Phil Wilson, a former Perry aide who was appointed just last year, is stepping down to "pursue other opportunities".
Wilson was appointed in July of 2007, so this announcement comes less than a full year into his term. But his last day won't be until July 6th.
"I have been honored to serve in this role for the people of Texas and am proud of the accomplishments we achieved during our time in office; overseeing the largest primary in Texas history, being part of bringing thousands of new jobs to Texas, and investing in our states future employers and technologies," Wilson said in a statement.
He's going to the new TXU.
I guess he wants to get one more State-paid holiday before taking off.
