Last One Out Turns Off the Light

And then there were none.

As the exit train picks up steam, word is that Abby Ottenhoff, the Governor's communication chief, is the latest to say 'see ya' to the Governor.

Her departure, comes in the wake of the adios parade led by Carol Ronen, Rebecca Rausch, and Sheila Nix.

According to Sneed:

Ottenhoff will be replaced by Lucio Guerrero, a former Sun-Times reporter who oversees media relations for Cook County Assessor Jim Houlihan.

From her days on House Democratic staff onwards, Abby was always simultaneously pleasant and professional. Abby always did her (admittedly tough) job well and proved that it could be done without being shrill or offensive. I wish her all the best.
