Deputy State Treasurer Jason Williams moves to AG’s office. And his role will be filled by…

I had heard that Deputy State Treasurer Jason Williams was departing that office, but it’s official now according to open.sd.gov. Williams, who had previously been at the Secretary of State’s office, and served as Deputy Treasurer coming in with Josh Haeder, has now moved on to an exempt position with the Attorney General’s office, where his salary is set at $117,023.90 annually according to the open government website.

So, what’s happening in the Treasurer’s office to fill Williams’ old role?

I have it on good authority that while an official press release is coming out in the near future, former Rounds Senate Campaign press secretary Mitch Krebs has been tapped to fill the position.

This is even more interesting that Willams’ departure, as with 14 months left, current State Treasurer Josh Haeder has reached the end of his ability to run because of term limits. Williams who was going to run for the office has obviously shifted gears.

And there is no one who is seeking the position.   As far as we know.  Maybe that’s changing with Krebs taking over as #2?

Stay tuned.
