Monday, July 30, 2007
The state hired Clair Overley Jr. as project manager of the Ohio Administrative Knowledge System, the $158 million computer system that tracks finances and personnel data. Overley takes over in the wake of the data breach that put the personal information of 1.1 million Ohioans and businesses at risk. Overley, a former U.S. Air Force captain, most recently served as deputy division chief of the Defense Logistics Agency in Columbus.
Capitol newspaper deems Brown a progressive hunk
Extras
Ohio's freshman U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown has been described in this newspaper as "rumpled," and wearing "unshined shoes" and "a slightly wrinkled suit." But The Hill, a Capitol newspaper, seems to think that's part of the Avon Democrat's charm.
They've listed him in their "50 Most Beautiful People on Capitol Hill," complete with a picture of the senator posed in front of a Capitol Hill window. "Sherrod Brown's combination of rumpled cool and passionate progressivism makes him the unsung beauty of the upper chamber," the story reads. It goes on to describe his "stealthy sex appeal."
Alas, Brown didn't get listed among the top 10 hotties. But it's only his freshman year in the Senate. He has time.
Montgomery
hangs out shingle as a consultant
Republican Betty Montgomery, former Ohio attorney general and auditor, has opened the Montgomery Consulting Group in Columbus. Montgomery also has joined a new law firm, Mac Murray, Cook, Peterson & Shuster. The law firm is located in New Albany, a Columbus suburb.
At the consulting firm, Montgomery will advise clients on their legal responsibilities and help them comply with the law, a press release said. Her law firm work will deal with consumer protection, privacy, charitable and nonprofit organization issues, the release said.
Montgomery last year lost the attorney general's race to Democrat Marc Dann.
