Chris Florance is starting his new job today as director of communications for the Texas Historic Commission. Florance had worked for the City of Austin as a public information specialist for the past seven years. Members of the city’s public information staff may feel a little shorthanded with the departure of Florance and Reyne Telles, who last week announced he would be leaving the city to direct communications at the Austin Independent School District at the end of September.

Jo Clifton is the Politics Editor for the Austin Monitor.
