White Quits Cabinet.

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.
White's resignation is the first Cabinet-level fallout since Johnson climbed into the national spotlight with his drug policy crusade earlier this year. Johnson has called the nation's war on drugs "a miserable failure."
White, who oversees the New Mexico State Police, said in a telephone interview Tuesday night that Johnson's support of drug legalization has been "difficult" for him.
