Sources are telling Heard in the Hall that Inspector General Seth Williams will not be reappointed by mayor-elect Michael Nutter. And who will replace Williams? That's still not completely clear, but it could be someone with serious investigatory/prosecutorial experience, perhaps from the FBI or U.S. Attorney's office. In any event, we will know for sure at 2 p.m. today. Nutter has scheduled a press conference at the Criminal Justice Center where he will announce THREE new appointments. They're coming fast now...
In related news, Heard in the Hall's Jeff Shields reports that Councilwoman Carol Ann Campbell will not call for a vote on legislation expanding the IG's power, meaning it would have to be reintroduced next year by another council member, because Campbell is leaving office.
Update: Via the Next Mayor, the Daily News is reporting that one of today's appointments will be Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy Kurland.
