Alabama’s Governor wasted no time in choosing a man to take Bill Fuller’s place at the DHR,

Gov. Bob Riley named former Tennessee lawmaker and foster care chief Page Walley on Wednesday to be commissioner of Alabama’s Department of Human Resources.

Walley has been a member of Riley’s cabinet, serving since March as the commissioner of the Department of Children’s Affairs. Riley said Walley was “eminently qualified.”

“He’s excelled as a capable administrator, as an expert on children’s issues and as a public servant,” Riley said in a prepared statement.

I have heard nothing but praise for Dr. Walley since he came on board, but he is tackling a very difficult task in his new position. Good luck!
