The turnover continues at the Fair Political Practices Commission. The chief enforcer at the state’s political ethics agency is leaving -- the second departure of an executive staff member in less than three weeks.
Gary Winuk, the FPPC’s chief of enforcement for the last five years, announced his retirement this week. His resignation comes in the wake of general counsel Zackery Morazzini’s departure. Morazzini was named the chief administrative law judge at the state’s Office of Administrative Hearings.
In a statement, FPPC chairwoman Jodi Remke praised Winuk as an accomplished and valuable “member of the FPPC team.”
“His leadership strengthened the Enforcement Division and we’re confident the division will continue its work in a robust manner,” Remke’s statement said.
“We’re eager to build on the significant progress we’ve made toward promoting governmental integrity and restoring the public's trust in government. In the upcoming months, we will be conducting our search for a new Chief of Enforcement to continue to promote these important goals.”
