7 new to Huntsman Cabinet
And governor seeking to create a department of community and the arts
The number of state employees involved in economic development would shrink under Huntsman's proposal, which still must be approved by lawmakers along with the new appointments. He wasn't ready to say Wednesday just how many jobs would be eliminated.
"Economic development is at the very heart and soul of what I expect to get done. Otherwise, nothing else gets funded," the governor said, promising the new structure would be able to "turn on a dime. It will be extremely responsive to our needs."
In November, Huntsman named Chris Roybal his senior adviser for economic development. Roybal would oversee the state's economic development activities under the new structure, but Huntsman would be involved on a daily basis.
"He wants that right under his thumb," Huntsman's chief of staff, Jason Chaffetz, said.
Huntsman has decided against combining the departments of corrections and public safety, Chaffetz said, but is still looking at making health and human services a single department, just as it is in the federal government.
