Massachusetts: Doug Rubin

State senator Marian Walsh of West Roxbury, long rumored to be up for one or another job in state government, has landed one: assistant executive director of the Massachusetts Health and Educational Facilities Authority (HEFA). OK, it's technically outside the government, but close enough. State House News Service was (I believe) the first to report it.

As I write, the HEFA board is meeting; in that meeting they are expected to approve the appointment

Last year, the Globe reported that the Patrick administration was plotting to get Walsh into HEFA as executive director, a job held by Benson T. Caswell. That was the story that embarassed political consultant Michael Goldman, whose email correspondence with Doug Rubin somehow ended up in reporter Frank Phillips's hands.
