Ben's career change!

He finally did it. We all knew it was coming. Ben gave notice at his law firm yesterday. Why? He's accepted a position in the new mayor's office. As of January 7, 2008, Ben will be the Senior Advisor for Intergovernmental Affairs in Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker's administration. Congratulations Ben! You were a great lawyer, but it's time to combine your passion for politics with your paying day job. Check out the news announcement here.

That is so exciting!
Are you planning on staying in Utah a while before moving to Washington?!
I bet it was a good day for Ben yesterday when he got to turn in his resignation and turn his attention to something he loves.
Congratulations!

so much i could say in support of you Ben! let's just hope you make a dent with the republican state legislators - don't even get me started about politics & the School of Medicine. :)

Congrats, Ben! So in twenty years or so, can I have a spot on your Cabinet? Even something small, like Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services, will do. Just remember I called dibs.

Or, maybe Ambassador to a peaceful island nation? Hmmmmmm?
