Remember all the trouble the governor has had with Latino legislators? They’ve publicly criticized him on numerous occasions for not hiring enough Latinos. He appointed a Latino chaiman of the reconstituted State Board of Education and Sen. Miguel del Valle, who chairs the Senate Education Committee, just shrugged and said it was a good start.
Well, here’s another Latino hire:
CHICAGO – Governor Rod Blagojevich today named Gerardo Cardenas as his new Chicago Press Secretary, the first Latino to hold this position.  Cardenas is a trilingual journalist with 20 years of experience, including over 13 years as a foreign correspondent for an international wire service in Mexico and Europe.  He comes to the Governor’s Office from Hoy Newspaper, a Chicago Tribune Spanish publication where he served as Assignment Editor for the last three years. Cardenas will be responsible for press relations for both Chicago mainstream media and the Hispanic media.  He is filling the position that has been vacant since Abby Ottenhoff moved into the position of Deputy Director of Communications last May.
