Don "Mr. Anderson" Anderson has been hired to head the provincial New Democrat's caucus research operations, Public Eye has learned. Before his party was kicked out of government, Agent Anderson was a senior advisor/issues management director with the cabinet policy and communications secretariat and a coordinator in the premier's coordination and liason branch. Meanwhile, rumour has it acting caucus communications director Jim Rutkowski may soon be permanently named to that position. And, on the other side of the aisle, Liberal caucus communications manager Dale Steeves is now sitting in the director's chair in an acting capacity.
