Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker’s chief economic advisor has applied for a new job and may soon leave the administration.
Jay Ash, the Secretary of Housing and Economic Development, has applied to be the next city manager of Cambridge and if he gets the job will leave Baker’s cabinet, according to the Boston Globe. Ash, a Democrat, was the first cabinet secretary picked by the new Republican governor underscoring Baker’s pledge of bipartisanship.
Ash, if he goes, would be the first high-level departure from the Baker administration, which is not yet halfway through its first term.
