Out as House Judiciary chairman when Speaker Rick Thompson took over this year, Jon Amores quit the Legislature on Friday to take a post in the state Commerce Department.
The Associated Press has the story, as does The Charleston Gazette. Both articles note that Amores' had switched his law license to inactive status; the 42-year-old lawyer has been involved in banking and mediation in recent years. Amores told me for the AP story that he is well on his way to returning it to active status, which would allow him to practice law.
The Gazette, meanwhile, also touches on Amores' recent divorce.
Amores is slated to start as deputy secretary and general counsel on April 10.

I'm glad he's out of the legislature, but I hate the governmental welfare that politicians seem to get. If I read the Gazette story, Amores sought out a state job...interesting.
