State Police Boss Resigns Over Gov.'s Drug Stance
Public Safety Secretary Darren White resigned Tuesday, citing disagreement with Gov. Gary Johnson's drug-policy positions.
"Earlier this summer, I welcomed your call for a national discussion on our country's drug policy," White said in a resignation letter to the Republican governor, effective immediately. "However, since that time, you have taken policy positions that I do not share."
Johnson spokeswoman Diane Kinderwater said the governor did not request White's resignation and has told Cabinet members they are free to disagree with him.
