BARC Bureau Chief Ray Sim was fired today, spokeswoman Kathy Barton confirmed. She would not give specific reasons, saying only “I think it was just an issue of timing…[it was] not the right time for this guy.”
Sim began his job in May, after the Department of Health and Human Services conducted a seven-month nationwide search to replace the previous chief, Kent Robertson.
Barton said that since the “incident command team” will be in charge for the time being, “There will not be a lack of leadership.”
We’llย try to find out more.
