Daniels names former telecomm exec to head Dept. of Admin.

From the South Bend Tribune:

Gov.-elect Mitch Daniels on Friday named a retired GTE executive and former chairman of the Indiana Sports Corp. to run the state’s Department of Administration. Earl Goode will run the department which is in charge of, among other things, procurement for the State.

So, we have:

An Eli Lilly attorney as director of the Office of Management & Budget;

An Ice Miller corporate & securities attorney as Chief of Staff;

An Eli Lilly & Ice Miller corporate attorney as Director of State Personnel;

A Barnes & Thornburg corporate attorney as General Counsel;

A Golden Rule Insurance Company IT manager as Chief Information Officer;

A COO of the Indianapolis Water Company as head of FSSA;

A COO of Galyans as head of the BMV.
You know, I just wish the Indianapolis business community had more influence in this administration.
