Governor Carcieri announced today that his press secretary and chief spokesman Jeff Neal will step down by the end of June. In a press release, Neal said "it was time to begin seeking new challenges and opportunities." He said he first approached Carcieri about leaving in September, but that the governor asked him to stay on, first through January, then through the end of the legislative session. During that time, the office will conduct a search for Neal's replacement, a press release said. The announcement follows a shift at the top of the governor's communications staff. Earlier this month, Carcieri sent his director of communications, Steve Kass, "on loan" to the state's Emergency Management Agency, replacing its current spokeswoman. Kass's position as communications director for the governor is being taken over by John Robitaille.
