Gov. Mark Dayton turned to a military general Wednesday to run the state technology agency that is still working to fix Minnesota’s vehicle registration system.
Dayton named Johanna Clyborne to lead Minnesota IT Services. She’ll replace Commissioner Tom Baden, who cited health problems for his upcoming retirement.
Clyborne is co-founder of a law firm and a brigadier general in the Minnesota National Guard, jobs she said she intends to keep doing on a part-time basis while taking on the new MN.IT duties. Clyborne does family law, concentrating on issues surrounding military benefits, and she said she will take steps to avoid any conflicts with her public duties.
