This week, Bill Haslam announced two more members of his cabinet. He retained Susan Whitaker as the Commissioner of the Department of Tourist Development. She becomes the second hold over from the Bredesen administration. The other is Greg Gonzales at the Department of Financial Institutions.
Then today, the Governor-elect named Derrick Schofield as Commissioner of Corrections. Schofield is currently the assistant commissioner and chief of staff for the Georgia Department of Corrections. He is the first non-Tennesseean named to Haslam's cabinet.
With these appointments, Haslam has announced 10 of 22 state government department heads.
