Katy DeLuca has been promoted to Features Editor. She replaces Jacque Jo Bland, one of our favorite tweeters, who is leaving. Her Twitter account has been suspended, which we hope is just temporary. Leah Fabel (pictured at left), who took off for India in September, returns.  In a separate note from Smith to FishbowlDC, he explains, “Jacque is a West Virginian, and she’s joining Chesapeake Energy as Media Relation Specialist in Pittsburgh in order to be nearer her family.
