Governor hires reporter who covered him

The Sacramento Bee announced today (Jan. 25) that one of its reporters, Gary Delsohn, has been hired by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger as his chief speechwriter, a job that pays $110,000 a year not including benefits. Recently, Delsohn has been covering the governor for The Bee. Delsohn is expected to start his new job Feb. 8 and the paper will put him on other assignments than state politics in the meantime. He is a past Knight Fellow at Stanford University. In 2003, he wrote a book called “The Prosecutors; A Year Inside the Life of a District Attorney’s Office.” Delsohn replaces speechwriter Jeff Danzinger, who has worked for the administration since Schwarzenegger took office after winning the 2003 recall election.
