Kasich names Bob Blair to head Administrative Services
Gov.-elect John Kasich on Friday named Bob Blair, who’s previously held several high-level state jobs, as director of the department of Administrative Services in the incoming Kasich administration.
The department manages the state workforce and provides administrative support to public agencies, boards and commission. Hugh Quill, former Montgomery County treasurer, currently holds the job.
Blair, 62, has 18 years of state government experience, a press release said. He served as both human resources director and assistant director in the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and also as director of human resources at the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Blair lives in Pickerington in Fairfield County east of Columbus, the release said.
“He will be instrumental in helping to create a modernized, 21st century state government that maximizes public dollars and serves the customer,” Kasich said in the release.
Blair said in the release that “I look forward to bringing a business-like approach to the public sector.”
