Down at the Capitol and Old City Hall it’s almost as popular as McDonnell’s NCAA poll last year ( How could anyone not have put Carolina in the final?) . Everyone’s got the Governor-Elect’s cabinet  and key staff appointees (Chief-of-Staff, Counsel, Policy Director and Communication Director) picked out for him. Or at least they’re taking [...]

It’s not surprising that Attorney General Bill Mims would be pursued by Hunton and Williams and that he would accept the offer.
Probably better hours than government work.  A chief-of- staff, for example, is 24-7 for 4 years.
