MO Department of Revenue Director Brian Long Resigns -- Update

No link yet.  I got the news via e-mail from a state worker.  I'm sure there's a press release involved but I have a meeting coming up and no time to check.

Nixon is trying to save his own butt by shoving Long's head into the stock for the unauthorized release of CCW license data to the federal government.  I'd like to see them all come down.

Here is the Missourinet link.

Gov. Jay Nixon’s office says director Brian Long has resigned and deputy director John Mollenkamp, who has been a key figure in the investigative hearings, is taking over as acting director. Nixon spokesman Scott Holste says Long was not asked to step down, but that his letter of resignation says the recent investigation has taken a tremendous toll on his family life.

The rather weird thing is that Mollenkamp has been deputy director of Revenue since sometime in 2011.  Long has been director a grand total of four months.  If I had to take odds on which one of those two authorized "the illegal scanning and keeping of personal identification information for those seeking driver licenses and conceal and carry weapons licenses", I would bet on Mollenkamp.

This is the stupidest cover-up ever.
