| Description | Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert is reshuffling the divisions of his office in an effort to "streamline" and make operations more efficient.
An e-mail sent out to state workers last week details a realignment of the Elections Office and State Notary into one office space. The titles of Herbert's advisers and most of the elections office staff would change: Elections Director Michael Cragun would be "Deputy for Operations" and elections workers would be called "office specialists." The "State Elections Office" title would disappear.
The memo set off alarms among elections workers around the state, raising questions about whether the change would jeopardize $26.6 million in federal election reform funds the state will use to buy voting machines for the 2008 election.
Now, Lieutenant Governor's Office Director Joe Demma says the letter was sent out prematurely. Combining the office is really a team-building exercise meant to energize all the workers, he says. The elections workers will still enforce state campaign finance laws and provide information to the public. No jobs will be cut. And the federal funding is not at risk. |
