HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) _ Connecticut's new governor is seeking resignation letters from potentially hundreds of top non-union state employees.
It's part of an effort by Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont to take a ``thorough look at the way state government is designed with an eye toward right-sizing offices and agencies,'' according to a letter sent to agency heads on Thursday and obtained by the Hartford Courant . Paul Mounds, Lamont's chief operating officer, asks in the letter that all ``unclassified appointment personnel'' submit their resignations by the close of business on Feb. 28.
The letter says the administration wants to ensure staffing ``best supports the needs and demands of our constituents.'' It says Lamont ``began this process with his own office and moved on to a review of commissioners,'' who also provided him with resignation letters.
