Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said Monday that his health commissioner will now lead the Department of Revenue. Adam Crum was appointed to head the Department of Health and Social Services at the start of Dunleavy’s time in office.

Dunleavy announced that Heidi Hedberg, who currently serves as the director of the Division of Public Health, will serve as acting commissioner of the Department of Health.Commissioner Lucinda Mahoney resigned in September and was replaced by Deven Mitchell, who in turn left the agency last week to serve as executive director of the Alaska Permanent Fund Corp. Brian Fechter, who had worked for the state of Alaska for the past nine years, was named acting revenue commissioner last Monday.

Jeff Turner, a spokesman for the governor’s office, said Crum will be acting commissioner until his name is submitted to the Legislature for confirmation next year.

I mean, with the amount of money the healthcare system makes off of us, this ironically makes sense. 😳😅🥲

He is an honest person and cares about Alaska.

I'm sure he's eminently qualified for the position, just like all of Mike's other appointments have been. sarcasm
