“At noon on the 20th the entire political leadership goes out the door and a whole new set of leadership has to come in. The whole idea is: here’s the state of the agency, here’s where everything stands - so that on day one at noon when the new political team walks in, they’ve got a roadmap.” Jonathan Coppess
