I'm not sure why the Notley Government has given us so little information about Corey Hogan, whose appointment to the important job of managing director of the Alberta Public Affairs Bureau was so tersely announced Tuesday.

Based on the government’s news release, published late in the afternoon on Tuesday, available facts were quite thin on the ground — the release included two sentences and 45 words. That’s if you don't count the uninformative seven-word headline: "Government makes changes at senior official level."

Premier Jim Prentice, former chartered bank vice-president, has created a "blue ribbon" advisory panel of big bosses from public and private sector executive suites to do something about sagging morale and high turnover in the Alberta public service.

What’s wrong with this picture?
