From The Examiner:
House Republican leaders called on Virginia Technology Secretary Leonard Pomata to give up his dual role as head of the state’s information technology agency, citing an attorney general’s opinion that he can’t legally hold both jobs.
Pomata, shortly after being appointed to Gov. Tim Kaine’s cabinet this summer, stepped in as a temporary replacement for sacked Virginia Information Technology Agency Chief Lemuel Stewart Jr.
Kaine spokesman Gordon Hickey said Pomata’s interim role is “winding down very quickly,” and he is expected to step down as soon as a replacement is named, possibly later this week.
