SANTA FE, N.M. – Martinez transition team leader Heather Wilson notified so-called exempt workers Friday that they should submit resignations effective Dec. 31, the last day of Richardson's term.
Wilson says incoming cabinet secretaries may ask some Richardson political appointees to temporarily remain in their jobs to help the new administration as it takes control of state government. Workers interested in doing that should contact cabinet-level administrators named by Martinez.
Wilson reiterated that appointees moving to civil service protected jobs will be fired Jan. 1 unless the shift is approved by the Martinez administration.
