We’ll have a full report from the press conference in which District Department of Transportation director Gabe Klein announced his departure from the position shortly, but it appears as if today has been a very painful one if you were appointed to a job by Mayor Adrian Fenty. Alan Suderman was able to confirm that Linda Argo, director of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, will not return to her job when Gray takes over as Mayor in January — a huge surprise, considering the leaps and bounds DCRA has made over the last four years. Michael Neibauer also notes that deputy mayor for planning and economic development Valerie Santos, Department of Employment Services head Joseph Walsh and director of the Department of Small and Local Business Development Lee Smith have all received letters stating that they will not be retained. Word is still out on whether Office of Planning Director Harriet Tregoning will stay on or not.
