Governor Gibbons general counsel resigned

Like rats deserting a sinking ship, general counsel, Chris Nielsen, submitted his resignation to Governor Jim Gibbons yesterday. [Inside Nevada Politics, Reno Gazette Journal]

Gibbons’ Chief of Staff, Josh Hicks’ last day of work was June 26. Nielsen doesn’t have another job yet.

Gibbons is considered unlikely to be re-elected as Nevada’s governor in 2010. Nothing in it for his staff to remain. They undoubtedly can see Gibbons is washed up.
