The Arkansas Senate`s chief of staff is
resigning after 15 years on the job.
Bill Lancaster said yesterday he would leave the
$93,000 a-year post to take another job. Lancaster did
not give details about the new job, saying only that it would NOT
be as a lobbyist or employee of another state agency.
Before taking the Senate job, Lancaster spent seven years on
staff for the House of Representatives.
His resignation follows an investigation by four senators into
the chamber`s operations following a Senate Efficiency Committee
meeting this summer.
Senate President Pro Tempore Jim Hill says he did not seek
Lancaster`s resignation and that senators conducting the
investigation did not recommend Lancaster resign.
