And it is waaaaay better then the job she had with the city;
Former Sioux Falls City Clerk Debra Owen has found a new job as the in-house counsel for state Bureau of Personnel, soon to be renamed the Human Resources department for state government.
There’s some irony to that. The human resources department in Sioux Falls was partially responsible for a botched personnel investigation for which Owen was blamed.
Owen will draft legislation and administrative rules, as well as represent the department at the Capitol during legislative session.
I still think it is sad that we lost such a great talent like Debra, because of bloated egos and hubris. I applaud Debra for getting back in the saddle, just try to stay as far away from the SOS’s office as possible.
