Update: Former DC Schools Ombuds Becomes Healthcare Lobbyist

Tonya Vidal Kinlow, the former Ombuds for the Distict of Columbia Public Schools, has been named as Vice President of Government Affairs for CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. In the newly created position, Kinlow will lead CareFirst's efforts on local, regional and national government affairs and policy matters. Meanwhile, DC wags think that the low number of cases and lack of reaction to Kinlow's departure mean that the Ombuds position will remain vacant until at least the next school year. Mayor Adrian Fenty's office has not commented on the situation. (CareFirst Press Release; DC Examiner.)
