Do you think there's a job description for this new Strategic Economic Initiatives Director position?


Source:  LinkedIn

Matt Moroney Named Strategic Economic Initiatives Director.  (Office of the Governor, 9/25/2017)
RED ALERT:  Governor Scott Walker today announced Matt Moroney will serve as the strategic economic initiatives director at the Department of Administration (DOA). Moroney currently serves as Governor Walker’s deputy chief of staff for operations. The Wisconn Valley Special Session bill created a new project position at DOA focusing on economic development in coordination with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation. (emphasis added)

Final title notwithstanding, the news release offers no clue to to Matt's specific job responsibilities in this new position.  It is instructive to note that, like former DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp, he comes from a builders background.

Matt takes a bipartisan approach to campaign contributions.
